You are NOT ALONE! We all feel lonely, depressed, anxious and/or angry when our relationships get stuck in unfulfilling patterns. I've been a therapist for over 35 years, married over 35 years and raised 2 (now adult) children. I know how hard it can be to develop connected, resilient, truly joyful relationships. But I also know that the rewards ARE WORTH IT and sometimes we just need guidance.
My approach is caring, gentle, AND honest. My goal is to ensure that you feel known, understood and accepted. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which research shows produces improvement in 93% of couples (www.iceeft.com). I also use other approaches, based on YOUR UNIQUE STRENGTHS and STRUGGLES. I received Bachelor Degrees in both Psychology and in Human Development & Family Studies, a Master's Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, and continue to be trained in the latest therapeutic methods.
Research indicates the best predictor of successful counseling is the client/therapist relationship.

I know how hard it can be to get the courage and or motivation to find a therapist you "fit" with.
Through my 37 years of marriage, and raising two children, I was in that position more than once.
One thing I learned was that not every therapist was a good fit for me or my family.
I also learned that when you find the right therapist you will know, and that with support you truly can find greater connection, confidence, and happiness.
After 60 years of a full life, I have experienced many struggles, including the death of my husband of 37 years.
