Therapy isn’t about what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about creating an opportunity to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, and enhance the quality of your life.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

People enter my practice for one common reason: to enhance the quality of their lives.

Contrary to certain myths, therapy is not for people who are “deranged”, “messed up”, “weird” or are unable to contribute to society. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Therapy serves as a positive medium which allows people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves in our increasingly complex world, so that they may make productive decisions which lead to their own personal happiness.

Through the work we do together, people redesign their lives and emerge with a powerful sense of self, and as a result, the ability to enjoy life in a most rich and meaningful way.

Finding Answers to Healthier Living

My focus, expertise and specialization is in the dysfunctional interpersonal relationships of individuals, among couples and within families, including parent/child involvement and sibling interaction. My work helps explore the familial patterns, inhibitions and legacies that contribute to impaired functioning, building insights that encourage change. This change will, generally, create adjustments that reverberate within the entire family, work or relationship system. Many who require direction in their lives, or have experienced failed or unfulfilling relationships – yet yearn for a gratifying one – continue to find tremendous success through their work with me. Couples desiring enhanced communication, a deepening of intimacy or, conversely, need help in preparing for separation or adjusting to divorce also learn to recreate a perspective on life based on a deeper understanding of their true motivation.

All tell me they “find my warmth and empathy” a significant contributing force in their healing process.

Relationship Challenges & Life Transitions

Life brings changes, challenges, and transitions that can affect the way we feel about ourselves and our relationships.

You may be struggling with a major life change, feeling disconnected from the people around you, questioning the direction your life is taking, or finding yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you.

Therapy provides a place to slow down, gain perspective, and better understand yourself, your relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you.

Together, we can explore what is happening, identify what you would like to change, and work toward creating a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and fulfilling.
