About

Hello!

Thanks for reading my profile. I'm glad you're here.

I believe in helping people get the results they need. Your time is valuable, so I practice a pragmatic, skills-based approach to coaching.

My work is Informed by sociological understandings of the challenges facing couples and specialized clinical training in couples' therapy.

My areas of expertise include personality disorders, trauma, crisis management, anxiety and depression, and the special challenges facing minority couples and singles (people of color, LGBTQ people, people in cross-cultural and international relationships) and people who have survived toxic relationships and want to love again.

I work with single people and with couples who are:
*struggling to break difficult patterns
*desiring to create greater emotional intimacy
*exploring whether to stay together or dissolve a partnership
*dating after surviving toxic previous relationships
* concerned about parenting an adult child with narcissistic, anti-social, or borderline traits
* navigating a break-up with a partner with narcissistic, anti-social, or borderline features

Most of us get very little conscious education about how relationships work. It's not surprising so many people struggle in this area. The good news is that relationship skills can be learned. There's no need for shame or embarrassment if this is an area of growth for you as an individual or couple. Through working together on a foundation of powerful education and coaching, we can move you in the direction of the happy relational life you desire and deserve.
