I believe in a therapeutic process that is collaborative and flexible, meeting my clients where they are to foster meaningful growth. I approach therapy with warmth and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional struggles, low self esteem, transitional issues and attachment injuries. My aim is to collaboratively help you understand patterns in which you feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer yours, and learn how to move towards your goals. My style is warm, genuine and nonjudgmental while providing transparent feedback throughout the therapeutic process to maximize emotional growth and healing. I work as a supportive partner with each of my clients to find and achieve long term solutions.

I have been counseling for over 25 years helping couples helping couples move past hurt, betrayal and broken trust and to develop strong and resilient marriages that are able to absorb the traumas and setbacks of life. I dedicate a portion of my practice to working with couples whose lives have been impacted by cancer (esp. Prostate Cancer) and major illness. I also coach men who find themselves in transition due to changes in work, family, and health.

I work primarily with women with eating and body image issues. I believe that every person has a complex relationship with his or her body and eating. I help my clients to find balance between their body's needs, food cravings, and notions of what their body "ought to" look like.
