“Helping relationships flourish for over 25 years. You'll find me exceptionally easy to talk to. I work with couples, families, and individuals to find new solutions for old problems. Your needs and goals are the focus of our work together. My work helps improve intimacy and communication; blend families and cultures; heal grief and betrayal; dissolve depression, anxiety, panic and jealousy; alter negative self-talk; develop clarity and focus; overcome the effects of abuse and trauma; and support 12-Step and ACOA programs.

I am a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist (see www.gottman.com) and use the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs as methods to discover and describe your particular view of reality and how it differs from those you relate to.

Exceptionally warm, caring and intuitive, I have a knack for seeing possibilities and creative ways to solve problems and enrich relationships. From a client: "Your sincere joy for life is infectious and your mind is as sharp as a tack!"”
