I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 32 years and a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist for 14 years. I work both with couples experiencing conflict and disillusionment, as well as those couples who simply want to deepen their relationship and increase their connection. My goal is to help the couple transform their relationship from one of pain, hurt, or apathy, to one where each person can feel loved and validated while achieving personal growth and healing. I help couples learn new ways of expressing frustrations that do not trigger their partner's defensiveness. By helping couples see how their backgrounds contribute to their present conflicts, it can help them have a different perception of their partner's reactions, and thereby stop seeing them as an adversary. It has been my honor to work with many couples as they go through this process.
