I am a psychotherapist who has been practicing psychotherapy for almost 20 years. I value relationships. I believe that trusting relationships lead to happiness. If you have a relationship problem, then I can help. If you are going through divorce, I can help you and your family to learn strategies to cope with the family change.

As the owner and founder of The Revolution in Counseling I have sought to understand, develop, and implement the most effective and innovative therapies in the field.

My goal as a therapist is to encourage clients to attain their greatest potential, to help them transform their lives to being filled with increased ease and balance, and to empower them to recognize their internal competencies that they may access as coping skills for handling the complexities of daily challenges.

Many of us find ourselves vowing to raise our children without the pain we experienced in our own childhoods. Despite this deep commitment to ending destructive family cycles, we may find ourselves repeating old patterns with our own partners and children. We may have lost touch with our own inner child and creative center along the way. With the right healing, support, and new tools for our toolbox, we can become the individuals, partners, and parents that we want to be.
