For couples, I utilize The Gottman Method, assisting premarital and marital couples who are at decision points, hoping to build a stronger foundation for dealing with conflict navigation, expressing more positive feelings, and wanting to connect better.
Couples who begin to work with me are often arguing over trivial matters, wondering why gridlock is happening now when it never used to.The same issues keep coming up, and processing it only leaves you feeling exhausted and isolated. Nothing changes and the conflict involves pointing fingers, bringing up past wrongs, and tearing each other down. Money-related fights may add strain, perhaps alongside issues involving alcohol, pornography, or betrayal. Intimacy is lacking, leaving you both feeling unloved. What if you had the tools to fix your relationship? A playbook for the hard times but also a playbook to have way more good times?

They say that life should have purpose, and for the past 25 years working as a Marriage and Family Therapist has been mine. My approach is eclectic because everyone is an individual so my work is tailored to you and your specific needs, though I do practice cognitive behavioral therapy (what you think is what you feel) solution focused therapy and a holistic approach of mind, body and spirit teaching proper nutrition (certified weight management specialist) and yoga (certified yoga instructor) as a form of spirituality helping you to get centered and find balance in this hectic world of responsibilities and stressors.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I use Systems Theory to understand the whole you and help you expand your personal story, both individually and with other important relationships in your life.
Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like you need change but may not be sure where to start? I help people identify the areas in their life where they feel stuck and expand their perspectives to create healthy relationships with themselves and others. In therapy, I believe every behavior and thought process serves a purpose.

We can work to overcome life’s challenges, together.
