My desire is to help you live a full life, to listen openly and without bias and to understand you outside of your problems; to help you see that you have strengths and resources that will help you get through this difficult time or the challenges you face. My goal is to help you feel hopeful again. As a couple's therapist, (I also am a collaborative divorce therapist, divorce mediator, divorce coach, and parenting coordinator, and work to create parenting plans) my goal is to help the couple heal or learn how to move forward in a positive manner. One of my passion's are women's issues, including peri- and post-partum, loss, infertility, and grief.
I really enjoy hearing a couple's, family's and an individual's stories and their unique life experiences. I do my best to ensure that each person is comfortable as meeting someone new and sharing intimate details can be scary. I treat people the way I want to be treated. My hope is to help you live a full, beautiful life, to listen openly and without bias and to understand you outside of your problems; to help you see that you have strengths and resources that will help you get through this difficult time. My goal is to help you feel hopeful again, whether facing divorce/loss, grief, relational or occupational issues, or mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
I love people, I love their stories, and my greatest strengths are compassion, empathy, authenticity, and honesty. I truly enjoy helping others to re-discover themselves and their relationships.
