Healing from Betrayal ~ Infidelity causes so much trauma in relationships. Spouses and partners are often left feeling hurt, betrayed and lost. But relationships can heal, and people do find trust and hope again. I help couples heal the wounds of infidelity.

Is your relationship in trouble? Is there much conflict or anger between partners? I specialize in helping couples manage conflict, improve communication, and deal with each other with more skill. Learn how to be together yet remain your own person.

Your needs are not being met for a reason. Sometimes, your hopes and words may not be coming across the way you want and believe. I will help with this and show you even better ways to do this.

There is no mystery to therapy. At times, we all have, past regrets, feel empty, feel incomplete or unresolved in a relationship current or past. Difficulty feeling fulfilled whether it be at work or at home. Intimacy can be allusive. We explore & help find the answers

I am a certified Facilitator for Prepare & Enrich a pre-martial/martial program designed to address a couples relationship and provide couple exercises to build their relationship skills.

In marriage therapy, I help couples break repetitive arguments and cycles of disconnection by uncovering patterns, improving communication, and fostering understanding. Small nuances are smoothed out, so each partner feels better understood, and the connection deepens.

I strive to provide a safe place a person can go and be themselves, with no judgments. I continue in my belief that resiliency resides in everyone. I truly believe that change is possible and that everyone has room for improvement in their lives (including me).

Warm, nurturing relationships can help us get through the toughest times...but what if your relationship is the "tough time?" I love helping couples discover how they can finally get on the same page emotionally and feel like best friends again.
