As a couples therapist, I see myself as incredibly blessed and privileged every time a couple entrusts their relationship with me when they are at their most vulnerable place.

I believe healthy relationships are at the foundation of our happiness. Working with hurting couples has been a passion of mine for over two decades. I’ve continued to strive to learn the best methods to help the couples that look to me for help in healing including certifications in the two leading methods for working with couples, Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as Relational Life Therapy.

As a therapist, I not only believe in research, I insist on being a participant myself in these methods. I want to experience personally what I am asking my clients to do for their own success. Something I’ve found in my own work and my work with couples is that our past traumas or negative beliefs often get in the way of having satisfying relationships. It’s not our fault that difficult things in our lives affected us and brought about potentially damaging coping skills, but it is our responsibility to become aware of them and be open to more healthy behaviors that allow us to be our best in our relationships both with ourselves and others.
