On a personal note…
With more than two decades of experience as a behavioral therapist, I have witnessed the challenges individuals, couples and families face, as well as the transformative power of compassion, understanding and meaningful connection. As someone who has been married for many years and raised five children, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to the work I do with clients.
I am especially passionate about helping parents and families strengthen communication, navigate conflict and build healthier relationships. Drawing from my experience as a former Juvenile Probation Officer and Multi-Systemic Therapist, I help parents develop practical strategies tailored to the unique needs of their children and family dynamics.
I also work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, grief and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood and empowered to move forward with confidence.
My own life experiences have shaped my empathy, patience and commitment to helping others through difficult seasons of life. It would be my privilege to support you on your journey toward healing, growth and stronger relationships.
