About

Hello,

It's good that you're reaching out and I am a believer that part of the healing process leans on the connection (the fit) between therapist and client and so I invite you know a little about me. I pursued a Master's degree in mental health counseling and became a therapist in mid-life after having been widowed, remarried, and then experiencing a traumatic divorce that involved immense betrayal. I survived. Indeed, I grew. Ultimately I found happiness again and was blessed with a healthy relationship until it ended in his death from cancer. I have four grown amazing children. In all of that, I strengthened a belief that love and gratitude can shape the course of our lives significantly. I took that pain and chose to learn and grow.

Today, I specialize in teaching the combination of life skills that I learned and used with the psychological education I pursued after my divorce. I provide an experienced empathetic environment where my clients feel safe to explore their deepest fears, pursue self love, and reconcile their most authentic selves.

In my private practice, I've developed a reputation for being an effective couples counselor. I teach that the most successful relationships are those where each individual in the relationship learns to recognize and accept responsibility for their contribution; be it positive or negative. I help couples learn how to effectively communicate beyond the typical superficial complaints so that their partner has the opportunity to respond to the underlying feelings.

I am a firm believer that counseling and coaching are fundamental requirements for a quality life. After all, most of the things in life that we want to keep for a long time require some type of scheduled maintenance. Schedule your tune up now!

Warm regards.
