“Helping individuals, couples and families find new solutions to old problems, relief from suffering, and greater satisfaction and joy. My work helps improve intimacy and communication; blend families and cultures; heal grief and betrayal; dissolve depression, anxiety, panic and jealousy; alter negative self-talk; develop clarity and focus; overcome the effects of abuse and trauma; and support 12-Step and ACOA programs.

I am a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist (see www.gottman.com) and use the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs as methods to discover and describe your particular view of reality and how it differs from those you relate to.

Exceptionally warm, caring and intuitive, I have a knack for seeing possibilities and creative ways to solve problems and enrich relationships. From a client: "Your sincere joy for life is infectious and your mind is as sharp as a tack!"”

Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult
