About

You’re worried about your relationship, you feel lost and lonely, but you don't know what to do. You look at your partner/kiddo(s), remembering how things used to be, and wonder how you got here. You desperately want to go back to the time when spending time together was easy and fun. You miss the loving, warm, happy environment, are tired of the arguing, and can't remember the last time you just laughed. You long to go back to the time when life was easier, your family was connected and happy. The stress, worry, and longing is just too much. You want help. I can help you.
 
I will bring a combination of my own lived experiences, along with training in family systems therapy, couples therapy, Emotionally Focused therapy, and my growing knowledge of Internal Family Systems. Clients who work with me appreciate my transparent, straightforward and down-to-earth approach.
 
I bring warmth, acceptance, compassion and humor when working with you. Email or call me to schedule a free 15-minute meet and greet to see if I'm a good fit for you!
