As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I use Bowen & Gestalt therapy techniques combined with person-centered therapy strength-based with couples, families, reunifications, individuals, groups and athletes. The therapeutic focus is to help individuals heal, energize, focus, become aware of their inner strengths and remove mental blockers. Marriage and family therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems, including anxiety, depression, marital problems, individual psychological problems, and child-parent conflict. The unit of treatment is based on the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.

I specialize in supporting aspiring parents and new moms navigate things like infertility, anxiety, depression, and pregnancy or postpartum challenges. I draw on CBT methods as well as first hand knowledge of the struggles on the road to building a family.

Our relationships determine so much of how we feel and experience life. Committed relationships whether a marriage, premarital, or partnership are constantly growing and changing. Most often, we get into a committed relationship with the hope of experiencing LOVE. In the beginning, we are full of joy and hope though we may have had doubts or fears. Intimate relationships are complicated and life circumstances complicate things even more. We are left to guess our way through it or leave it to chance. And it works as long as it works. Until you find yourself internally hurting and externally yelling...What Should You Do?

Nobody could have prepared you for the pain of being in a high conflict/sexless marriage. You are either arguing all the time or avoid difficult topics altogether because you know that they will end in conflict. Your relationship feels tense like you are walking on eggshells. The resentment is building and you are beginning to ask yourself if this is the life you want anymore. You desire intimacy and connection but the emotional distance makes it feel impossible.
