I have over 20 years of professional experience and specialize in couples/marital therapy and relationship/family problems.
Since attaining Post Graduate Training at New York University, I expanded my expertise in couples counseling by becoming a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist. In addition, I became a life coach in order to help my clients realize their goals.
I provide a nurturing, safe, comfortable environment for couples and individuals to discuss personal issues and explore solutions. I am passionate about helping people succeed and possess the tools for positive change.

I work with couples experiencing conflict related to infidelity, parenting, finances, trust, intimacy, commitment, as well as other relationship issues.
Through intensive couples training & certification through an organization called Imago Relationship International, I provide specific techniques that help couples get results.
This method is unique because partners speak directly to one another and the therapist supports the growth of the couple rather than the needs of one partner over another.
Couples are helped to reduce fighting and discuss sensitive issues in a structured, safe, neutral, and non-judgmental setting. Partners learn to share their concerns and frustrations constructively and are coached to actively listen to each other without reacting.
They begin to understand and value each other’s perspective. In addition, they sometimes gain insight into how their partner’s current issues relate to their earlier experiences in life.
Through this process, a greater connection, respect, sense of cooperation, and willingness to problem solve emerges. I believe that all couples can succeed if they are motivated and provided with the right tools, insight, and guidance.
