About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Fellow with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and experienced counselor with over 15 years of experience and hundreds of couples. I am specially trained in couples therapy including psychology’s best practices, including Gottman Therapy Level I & II, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Solution-focues therapy, Motivational interviewing and Trauma/PTSD. This wealth of knowledge, skills and experience serves my clients well and creates an incredible combination to create positive change.

When a client has a session with me, they find a down-to-earth person who has been seasoned by life and who will give them the time and space to really talk about whatever is troubling them. I offer an honest, compassionate, warm, kind, and supportive personal space for each client to figure things out. Then, like a good friend, I will be honest about what I see going on and make suggestions about might provide the best possibility of moving forward. Using a variety of research based and proven therapeutic methods, I work with my clients to address issues that are causing distress. Some of these issues include anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, fear, hurt, and infidelity. These issues tend to create a lot of pain in this life. So, we work together to get to a better place. A place of happiness, joy, contentment, confidence, and satisfaction. The clients who choose me are ready for change, willing to work and get incredible results.

My only goal is to help each client find ways (over a relatively short time frame) to feel better! Yes, it's that simple. Together, we will work to find ways that resolve the internal conflict and pain, so you can go on to experience a life that is positive, satisfying, intimate, and incredible! I consider myself a coach. And, my clients tell me I'm good at it. So, if you are ready to feel better. Give me a call! Let's get going...Game on!
