About
I can help your relationships, communicating with your partner, major decisions, or facing life’s unexpected challenges. Every so often it can even be those long-standing issues that you’ve been able to deal with, but this time, you just need a little help.
When relationships are working, we’re able to live our happiest life. Relationships can heal. But sometimes, because they are so important to us, relationships can also hurt.
After decades in the technology field, I changed careers because I found that helping others be the best versions of themselves was more rewarding than any other work in my life. I feel very fortunate to have discovered my calling, and love what I do.
As an empathetic intellectual, I first strive to understand who you are and how a lifetime of relationships came to shape who you are. Then together build a roadmap to a better life using your strengths.
I love working with elder adults, people of color, cross cultural relationships, and immigrants because I personally understand the stigma that can come when you’re raised to believe that therapy is something ‘other people’ do.
We all have the potential to live a fulfilling, rewarding life in relationship. Then something happens, whether it’s circumstances, conflict or trauma, life goes awry, and it can be hard to know how to fix it. I believe that we have the ability to heal ourselves and our relationships, with expert help from us at the Relationship Therapy Center.
