You deserve a therapist who is not only well-educated but deeply committed to helping you! If you're an individual or couple struggling with relationship challenges like affair recovery, communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, or sexual concerns, I'm here to help. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I understand the complexities of these issues and am dedicated to guiding you toward healing and connection. For those preparing for marriage, I know how important it is to start on a strong foundation. I also offer premarital counseling tailored to your needs using proven methods to help you build a lasting partnership.

Areas of specialty include: developing communication strategies focused on improving relationships in step-families/blended families, and for individuals and couples. Additional areas of treatment include: counseling divorce/separation and break-up issues, infidelity, restructuring life following a loss, catastrophic event, managing cancer survivorship and developing coping strategies following life transitions (loss of job/graduating from college), supportive treatment for infertility struggles, as well as, treatment for anxiety, depression, and stress. My extensive nursing background, coupled with my Masters Degree therapy training and experience, have given me a deeper depth of empathy and understanding of life's challenges.

Human beings are amazing creatures. Some part of them is always moving them toward health, healing, and wholeness. Sometimes people get stuck – relationships become painful, work becomes stressful, family life becomes overwhelming. It is part of my mission in life to help people get unstuck and assist them in bringing out their best. I have over 35 years of experience in working with individuals., couples, and families. I have worked extensively with Men's Issues. Affairs are painful. Marriages can be saved. I have experience helping couples recover.

I am experienced and eager to help individuals and couples who want to make positive changes in their lives or cope with life stressors more effectively by use of cognitive-behavioral and problem-solving therapy and positive psychology. Therapy is intended to be goal-oriented and short-term. Couples are guided to regain intimate and personal connections they once had that may have been compromised by life stressors, infidelity, chronic or acute illness, parenting, age, sexual dysfunction, or simply growing apart. I aim to help people decrease distress, improve communication and problem solving, increase intimacy, and improve quality of life.

You're probably wondering how you got here. When your relationship started things seemed so good - but arguments, let downs, stress, and maybe just a gradual drifting apart has changed the relationship into something you no longer recognize. You want to feel more connected and confident in your relationship and you need straightforward support in the midst of complicated situation to help you do that. I have worked with hundreds of couples and using research backed message, a direct approach, and a touch of humor I can help you figure out what to do next, together.

Counseling can seem intimidating but I aim to ease that worry. I specialize in working with couples on issues such as infidelity, poor communication, family blending, premarital and more. My style in therapy is intentional, comforting, and encouraging. I believe in people and in the power a healthy relationship has to improve your life; that’s why I have focused on couples therapy for the past several years. Whether you’re grappling with issues of infidelity, communication, or simply feeling disconnected, my goal is to assist you in rediscovering the strengths that brought you together.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to create a safe environment where you can feel secure and supported to explore and be inquisitive about yourself. If you feel changes are needed in your life; if you are feeling depressed, fearful, ashamed, angry, stuck or confused, anxious or worried; or if you just can't stop self-defeating behaviors, you can benefit from therapy.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.Si siente que necesita cambios en su vida; si se siente deprimido, temeroso, avergonzado, enojado, o preocupado, o si no puede controlar los comportamientos autodestructivos, usted puede beneficiarse de la terapia.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can relieve emotional pain and also be transformative beyond what you can imagine when you are immersed in turmoil and suffering. One of my strengths is in helping my patients discover and build on their strengths. It's important to understand how a coping style that is no longer effective was once the best adjustment you could devise for your circumstances. You may be living as though those same circumstances still exist without awareness that you are doing so. Our interactions can provide a powerful vehicle for understanding of what goes on in your mind as well as in your relationships.

My therapeutic philosophy is that Individuals need to be a part of their own solutions. I strive to empower clients to feel that their successes come from themselves and are the result of their own hard work. My experience in social work is deliberately broad to address a wide range of concerns. My background includes child development/behavioral issues, couples counseling, adolescent, geriatric, vocational/employment counseling, chronic disease case management and Life coaching.

Feel Better. Whether for depression, anxiety or relationship issues, the majority of the clients we see come to therapy with the goal of feeling better; happier, more connected to others, and free from the paralysis of emotional pain. Primarily psychodynamic and systems-oriented in approach, we look at how an issue experienced in the now came to be there, from early childhood experience to prior adult experiences, and how these all culminated in the present problem(s). We also utilize techniques to individually tailor treatment to the patient's needs, including cognitive/behavioral, problem-solving, and insight-oriented therapies, and often ..humor(!)
