The Therapeutic Journey

I believe that every person is imbued with wisdom, well-being, and a desire for compatibility, compassion, and passion with a chosen and committed other.  In a respectful, safe, and professional atmosphere, I'll help you to create a new vision of your relationship/marriage and take action steps to make it so. In practicing respectful communication and constructive intentional dialogue with your significant other and with inviting and responding to respectful behavior change requests, you will be able to dissolve​ persistent conflict, forgive and reconnect, enhance intimacy and romance, eliminate persistent destructive reactivity, and come to appreciate legitimate and different needs of yourself and your partner.

'Falling in Love Again'...ah! The joy of it!

I am extensively trained in many different counseling and relationship therapies and will use the best combination to most benefit each couple.
