Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Do you feel like you have lost yourself? Are you in a relationship or a marriage, and you just don't know who you are anymore?

Are you struggling to pull yourself after some kind of unexpected, life changing event? Did you just find out your partner is cheating? Is your relationship on the line because you can't agree on anything? Or maybe, you HAVE "lost that loving feeling"?

Our job together is to discover, uncover, and recover YOU. And I work HARD to help couples repair their relationships, if that is I also believe that we are all essentially connected, that separation is an illusion, and that, as I help create an emotionally safe environment, my client can begin to revision and re-create themselves, and with their partner, restore the sacred space of their relationship.
