Personal Statement
Are you tired of getting into arguments with your spouse, child, or other family member? Are you unhappy with being blamed, dismissed, or misunderstood? Does it cause you to feel angry, frustrated, discouraged, or simply mentally exhausted? If you can relate to these issues and you are ready for your relationship(s) to improve, you have already taken the first step by seeking out a therapist! We can all use help from time-to-time, so let’s find a way to relieve the stress building up from those challenging relationships. Believe me when I say, you are not alone and there is hope that your situation will improve!
My passion and specialty lies in couple's therapy! But I also work with individuals and families dealing with relationship issues or family conflict. My goal is to make you feel comfortable so that we can find effective ways for you and your spouse/family to make realistic and sustainable changes in your life.
