I have been practicing as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2002. While I help individuals, couples and families cope with the many challenges of life, I have extensive experience helping couples navigate the complexities of intimacy and infidelity.

Life is hard. Our early, learned coping mechanisms do not always serve us in adulthood. While I believe people are doing the best they can, we can all benefit from new ways of relating to ourselves and others. We will work together to heal past hurts, understand our “why” and develop strategies to move forward. I use empathy, honesty and humor to explore negative core beliefs, maladaptive coping mechanisms and detrimental family of origin patterns that may be interfering with your well-being.

I believe in the mind body connection and am a lifelong learner of holistic practices including nutrition, exercise, spirituality, breath work and meditation. Drawing from a variety of modalities including Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy and Body centered approaches, you will feel supported, appropriately challenged and empowered throughout your therapeutic journey.
