My Approach to Helping

I modify my approach and style to meet the individual's, couple's or family's needs. I'm active and interactive and I believe in focusing attention on the positive aspects of an individual or system. I use a holistic model of understanding how each of us become who we are and working toward learning how to THRIVE!

More Info About My Practice

I've written four published books concerning relationships and how to improve ourselves within our intimate bonds. I love working with teens, parents, couples and adults. I have a strong passion for encouraging the strengths within each individual. I don't accept insurance, but I will provide invoices for a client's submission. I also have a registered psychological assistant whom I supervise. She accepts lower fee individuals.
