I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist (LCMFT) & native of Bethesda, Maryland, with over 30 years experience working with individuals, families, & couples. I have training in Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) & I work from that model with my client couples. I am working towards full IRT certification. I am passionate about helping couples create new connections through enhanced communication skills, & through learning how to communicate clearly & with compassion, understanding, and love.
My work as a Marriage & Family Therapist is specialized. As an LCMFT, I am trained to work specifically with relationships and relational systems, like couples & families. Marriage & Family therapy can be brief, 12-20 sessions, & solution-focused, specific with attainable goals, & designed to have a limited number of sessions.
It would be my honor & privilege to help you find solutions to your problems. Strengths: Openness to diversity; appreciation for people of all ages, races, gender, religious affiliation, & sexual orientation. I am the mother of beautiful & engaging young adult triplets who are a constant source of new learning experiences every moment of every day.
