My Approach to Helping

As a Certified Imago Therapist, I help couples talk and listen to each other in a "healing dialogue" which resolves conflict and leads to the deepening of the couple bond and the creation of "the relationship of your dreams." I believe that every couple can create a mutually fulfilling relationship or marriage, despite their past difficulties. As an individual therapist I help people explore their needs and problems, find solutions, and realize their true potential. As a minister with many years of pastoral experience, I invite persons to share their spiritual concerns and problems, and draw on spiritual resources if they are ready to do so.
