I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.
I specialize in anxiety and family stress, and offer online and telephone psychotherapy sessions. My work is practical and direct, focusing on enriching lives by building connections to others by improving skills in communication and helping to identify and resolve underlying issues.
As an individual and Marital specialist and consultant for individuals, as well as couples 'on the brink' of divorce or separation, I provide specialized services to bring clarity and peace of mind to the decision making process. Additionally, I specialize in recovery from infidelity, and I offer online/video scheduling for couples dealing with crisis.
