About

In person & online in NC and online in CA, HI & all PsyPact (most) states.
I specialize in working with couples, individuals & parents of children of all ages, with certification in ages 0-5. I support individuals & partners preparing for & navigating pregnancy & managing the complex stress of parenting. I am highly effective at helping couples rebuild trust and heal from infidelity, affairs, addiction or other loss of trust.
