I am a compassionate marriage therapist committed to helping couples navigate toward a healthier and more fulfilling relationship. With 20+ years of experience in the field, I understand that every relationship is unique. I am certified in Prepare-Enrich Couples therapy

I work with adults in relationships of all kinds. Whether you are dating or have been married for decades, I respect your commitment and I am here to help you learn better communication, connection, and find your path to love and support. No judgment, just compassion.

Premarital Therapy is the most requested form of couples therapy in my practice. Addressing issues that often don't develop until after marriage and providing conflict resolution tools to the couple to support healthy communication assists reducing future conflicts.

When relationship troubles unfold, few situations are terminal, although it might feel like it at the time. I look for the strength in each individual, the bonds which exist, and the hope within every couple. Taking the time to evaluate each situation is imperative.

I employ the proven techniques of EFT(Emotionally Focused Therapy) with couples. I bring a unique understanding, empathy and authenticity to my approach working with couples leading to long-lasting changes toward healthier, happier, more fulfilled relationships.

The therapy is not about me; its about you. However, in addition to my years of education, I bring a life-time of personal life experience and an extensive personal knowledge to the sessions. Call for your initial session today.
