I work with couples who want to bring joy and passion back into their relationship. I teach couples to communicate in a safe and compassionate way. My method of couples therapy is fun and effective. Most couples start to experience a positive change in their relationship within just a few sessions. I offer individual couples therapy and 3-hour VIP sessions for more intensive work.

I teach couples how to regulate their emotions to develop a safer, more intimate connection. I believe if everyone became more aware and connected in all of their relationships, the world would be a much better place. Harville Hendrix has said that couples therapy can “heal the world one couple at a time.” I want to be part of that healing: one couple, one family, at a time.

I also work with singles and young couples to help them prepare for a committed relationship. You find love and you want it to last. I help them to develop real relationship skills in order to create the life they want together.

Additionally, I work with couples coping with specialized concerns:
• couples with childhood trauma

I believe that we are always in relationship---with ourselves, Nature, each other, God, the world around us. As unique as each of us is, we long to be understood, seen and heard by others and yet, so many of us feel isolated and alone.
My training in in Depth Psychology, so I am interested in knowing your thoughts, feelings, how your body responds when you feel a certain way, and how well you are able to listen to these aspects of yourself. I believe that if we are able to listen to our thoughts, feelings, and our bodily reactions, we can then grow in Self-awareness. Then we can make decisions about our responses that are good for us. If we are learning about who we really are in this journey called life, we are missing out, I believe.
I have been an Imago therapist for 12 years and I love the way the principles of Imagotherapy coincide with my experience as a Depth Psychologist. It is exciting to work with couples who are willing and committed to helping each other learn about their individuality and how to support each other in growth.
I believe it is an honor to be allowed to be a witness to this growth and to be present to the pain that is necessary for this growth to occur.
