I’m in the field 25 years and LOVE what I do.
As a certified Imago Therapist and licensed clinical social worker, I help couples and individuals work to establish new, healthy patterns, and break long-standing dysfunctional patterns.
I encourage owning responsibility in life and take a holistic approach. My practice is solution-based; I give life-changing tools leading to eventual independence.
My specialty is in relationships. I deal with many different people, couples’ challenging relationships, separation, blended families and geriatrics. I use practical tools so couples can communicate effectively, whether they stay together or not. I feel the variety of many issues keeps my skills as a licensed clinical social worker sharp.

Imago
Imago relationship therapy explores reasons for negative perceptions/behaviors in a relationship and seeks to restore communication between partners. It’s about actively listening, being heard, validation, and being in tune with our partner.
Premarital
Getting to really know each other can lead to a secure marriage that will weather the pressures of day-to-day problems. Studies show that most couples who take part in premarital counseling have a much better chance of staying together.
Joined
I see up to 2 clients at a time, so I will counsel any type of pairing: siblings, mom/daughter, father/son, etc. If you feel like you’re having a hard time communicating, it’s a good idea to seek out a counselor. Life is hard, and sometimes help is needed.
Divorce
Divorce counseling can help transform a couples' experience from one of hell, into one of hope and peace. A good divorce therapist can help couples manage their emotional triggers, so when their spouse pushes them, they don’t fly into a frenzy.
Learn how to connect through differences and become more present in all of your relationships.

This type of dialogue can be used for couples and also for any type of relationship.
