My Approach to Helping

I am an experienced and caring marriage counselor and relationship expert, a Certified Imago relationship Therapist as seen on Oprah and first developed by Harville Hendrix with "Getting The Love You Want", as well as a skilled EMDR practicioner for the treatment of trauma. Helping couples in crisis is my specialty. Conflict is a protest against disconnection and a sign of a deep longing to be closer. I also know from working with couples that the most troubled relationships can be shifted from a broken place of hopelessness to a happy and contented connection. By the time most of my clients arrive at my office they have lost sight of the positive attributes of their partners and are often experiencing feelings of confusion, low self-worth and defeat as well as engaged in destructive power-struggles with their loved ones.

I can help if one or more of the following is a problem in your life:

-You feel like giving up on your relationship
-Your partner retreats in silence and refuses to discuss problems
-You long for a more passionate and satisfying sexual relationship
-Your differing styles of parenting is a source of conflict
-In-law issues have trained your relationship
-You miss the fun that you once enjoyed in your relationship
-You believe your partner has an anger problem by constantly yelling and blaming
-Finances and the way money is spent is an issues
-You are struggling to recover from an affair
-You feel betrayed and manipulated by your partner
-You or your partner is a workaholic
-A recent life transition such as job change or move is causing stress
-You life feels out of control and you feel stuck

My role is to provide the support, safety and new tools leading them to their personal power and an enduring ability to connect to those they love. I integrate traditional methods of therapy as well as Imago Relationship Therapy regardless of whether a client is working as an individual or with a partner. The results of the work I facilitate others with is as profound and transforming and rewarding for me as it is for them.

More Info About My Practice

I have an effective approach to helping couples suffering from the pain of betrayal from affairs, broken family relationships, divorce and abusive or neglectful backgrounds. Using a specific and structured way of communicating called a dialogue, I teach others how to listen, speak effectively and offer and receive validation and empathy to those they love. I have helped many sexless or dissatisfied couples to restore passion, fun and love to their relationships. I welcome both couples and individuals and with my broad range of practice, skills, training and experience I help them to transform their lives in amazing ways.
