Expert Guidance Through Life's Most Important Decisions
With over 25 years of clinical experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate the complexities that matter most: whether to stay together or separate, how to stop destructive patterns of conflict, and how to create the meaningful relationships you've been seeking.
My practice focuses on three core areas where I've seen the most profound transformations:
Couples at crossroads - When you're asking "should we stay together or not?" or finding yourselves caught in cycles of arguments, I provide a safe space to explore what's really happening beneath the surface. I help couples understand their patterns, rebuild connection, and make informed decisions about their future together.
Women navigating midlife transitions - The middle years often bring profound questions about identity, purpose, and what comes next. I work with women who are ready to explore these questions deeply and create a life that truly fits who they're becoming.
Men seeking authentic connection - Many men come to therapy knowing they want more meaningful relationships but unsure how to create them. I help men develop the emotional skills and self-awareness needed to build the connections they desire.
My Therapeutic Approach
I practice from an exploratory, insight-oriented perspective that honors your wisdom as the expert on your own life. Our work together is client-led, meaning you set the pace and direction while I provide the clinical expertise and guidance.
I encourage self-reflection, dreamwork, and journaling as tools for deeper understanding, though I adapt my approach to what works best for each client. My style is creative, energetic, and open - I believe therapy should feel like a collaboration, not a clinical procedure.
The Advantage of Experience
Having practiced across diverse settings - from community mental health and residential treatment to hospital triage and private practice - I bring both clinical depth and real-world perspective to our work. More importantly, I bring the wisdom that comes from having lived through many of the challenges my clients face: raising children, navigating marriage and divorce, experiencing loss, and building new relationships.
This combination of professional expertise and personal experience allows me to offer both clinical insight and genuine understanding. I know what it's like to face difficult relationship decisions, to question life direction in midlife, and to work toward creating authentic connections.
Beginning Your Journey
Starting therapy, especially for the first time, requires courage. You may worry that exploring these issues will make things more difficult before they improve - and that's a valid concern that we can address together. My role is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore these questions at your own pace.
Whether you're facing a relationship crisis, questioning your life direction, or seeking deeper connections, I'm here to walk alongside you toward clarity and peace of mind. The decision to begin therapy is often the first step toward the changes you're seeking.
