I believe that the strength of our relationships shapes how fulfilling our lives are. I specialize in working with couples who are facing transitions and/or conflict in their relationship and individuals who struggle with relationships and their sense of self. Together, we will work towards deeper understanding and freedom from negative and/or destructive repetitions that impact your life and relationships.

Couples therapy is a place where we work on a relationship and in doing so, also set the foundation for a better quality of life.

Powerful emotions, inner and outer conflicts, and relationship issues can be an invitation to explore your experiences more deeply. As we explore your relationship(s), worries, fears, hopes, and dreams, we will find clues that lead to the source of unresolved problems and a path to wellness. When we find the source, we can heal.

Therapy is unique to each person, couple, and family. I consider each individual’s needs and personality to create a therapeutic experience in sessions. I invite you to email or call me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

In our sessions together, we may delve into the present, and we may also explore your past. As we become more curious about your past and present experiences, unexpected connections may unfold. It is like a scavenger hunt. In our work together, we will find clues that lead to the source of unresolved problems. When we find the source, we can heal.
