A Little About Myself

Some clients feel as though they need to bring a problem to therapy to seek out or continue treatment. I believe therapy is not only about helping clients when they are faced with difficult times, but also celebrating their successes, and providing maintenance and preventative care.


I sincerely believe that quality treatment should not be limited to a pre-set number of sessions. What works for someone in 8 sessions, might take another person 12, or 16! My main focus is to help my clients reach their treatment goals, regardless of how many sessions it may take.


It is important to me to remain reliable, available, and to meet my client’s where they are so we can work together to gain each other’s trust.


I often use an integrated health approach in my practice and think every person or relationship is different. So, I like to offer custom tailored interventions for each client so their unique set of challenges are addressed fully.


Sometimes life happens TO us, and our relationships face the brunt of the changes and chaos that life can bring. I want to help couples who want to make sure their relationship is solid when life gets chaotic. I want to help couples who are trying to survive from recent (or not so recent) chaos. But mostly, I want to help couples find peace within their relationship again. I want to help you regain your footing and your confidence in each other.


Let me be your relationship guide and help you reconnect in a way that you didn’t think possible. Reach out today and schedule a consultation.
