I strongly believe that all humans can reach an optimum state of health. An essential part of achieving this often involves addressing limiting habitual patterns of behavior or belief systems as well as learning skills to optimize healthy relationships. I seek to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which clients can identify their own answers and achieve tangible results. This can occur both in individual sessions as well as with the collaboration of family members. My practice has lead me to work with youth, young adults, adults, and families facing some very challenging life situations and internal struggles.

Most, if not all emotional pain and healing happens within the context of relationships. Relationships are the agony and ecstasy of our lives, significantly shaping who we are throughout the lifespan. This impact begins with the scripts we are assigned in our family-of-origin, and later it influences our choices regarding mate selection and parenting style. Relationships can lead to psychological symptom development, and conversely, also hold the keys to personal growth, positive self-esteem and transformation. As a marriage and family therapist, my specialty is working in this dimension with individuals, couples and families.
