I am a Catholic marriage and family therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families in pain to experience deep personal and relational healing by using the top faith- and evidence-based treatments so that they can live out their unique vocations to love with ever greater peace, holiness, and joy.

 

I help:

·         INDIVIDUALS

o   Restore peace through deep healing

o   Resolve various internal problems like:

*  Anxiety

*  Depression

*  Addiction

*  Post-traumatic stress

*  OCD

*  Bipolar disorder

*  Poor concentration/organization

o   Overcome relational challenges like:

*  Recovering from various betrayals due to affairs, addiction, or abuse/neglect

*  Overcoming co-dependent relationship tendencies

*  Making better relational choices

*  Dealing better with difficult family members, friends, bosses, or co-workers

·         COUPLES

o   Save their marriages

o   Stop unfairly blaming one another

o   Halt violent outbursts

o   Greatly reduce the frequency and length of angry shouting matches

o   Eradicate contempt for one another

o   Rekindle their love for one another

o   Do heartfelt acts of love for one another

·         PARENTS

Besides an emphasis on doing deep inner work with individuals, I also specialize in rebuilding trust in relationships, improving communication, and eliminating sexual addictions and/or cheating. EMDR is one method I use to help reduce the effects of various traumas.
