The prominent presenting issues I work with couples on range from communication issues, conflict resolution, blended family stress to infidelity, and infertility. Then, for individual clients, I am looking for women and men clients, specially focusing on male, men of color, and women of color clients.

I specialize with individuals and couples who desire to heal emotional problems associated with lack of trust, intimacy difficulties, ineffective communication, anger, silence and distance, sexual matters/addictions or infidelity. My services help people deal, heal, and grow through the inevitable seasons of change inherent to our lives.

Together we create goals, develop strategies, and engage in ongoing interaction that moves you toward meaningful paths of change.

Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither.

My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide support to help you create space to learn and integrate new skills and encourage new perspectives as you grow and thrive in connections.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. An unexpected event can suddenly throw everything off balance, or many smaller stresses can build up until it seems impossible to cope with them.

At times, everyone needs help navigating through life's passages. I believe we all have the capacity to find a deeper, more meaningful life.

The truth is, we know that the journey of motherhood is far more complex and intertwined, than how society portrays it.
