About

All couples experience conflict and may even feel disconnected, unfulfilled, insecure, and with a lack of direction. No matter how painful your situation may appear, Couples Therapy can help bring more FRIENDSHIP, MEANING, UNDERSTANDING and FULFILLMENT to your life together, thereby strengthening your relationship and your family life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with almost 20 years of experience treating couples and families. My passion lies in working with couples that have a history of childhood trauma and abuse, and helping these couples develop insight and skills to stop repeating similar themes and patterns in their adult family life and/or romantic relationships. Some issues may include co-parenting issues, sexual issues, infidelity, codependency, and unhealthy communication patterns that destroy the fabric of their marriage or romantic relationship.

My practice also offers more intensive services to those couples experiencing a crisis or requiring immediate couples or family intervention. I have an extensive understanding of how childhood trauma, abuse and domestic violence impacts the lives of individuals, couples, and families resulting in generational family trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, codependency, substance abuse, depression and anxiety.

My style is one of collaboration with an emphasis on safety, respect, open communication, and hope for healing and human potential.
