About My Clients
Couples
My child is acting out, I have tried everything, nothing works. I want partnership with parenting and household duties. I am worried there may be something "wrong" with my child. I am snapping at my kids all the time and feel overwhelmed. I know it's time I begin healing from my painful childhood. |
Our relationship is great yet we need help with communication. We want more connection, closeness, and romance. We argue a lot and our fights are beginning to escalate. My partner is never in the mood for sex and barely touches me. We are on the brinks of divorce and want to save our marriage. Parents

My clients work hard to create full and satisfying lives. They want their romantic relationships and families to thrive. Some clients participate in short term counseling on specific issues. Others come in during a state of marital, relationship, or family crisis. Many clients begin long term therapy after struggling quietly for years. Regardless of what challenges are brought forward, I help my clients reach their specific relationship and family goals.
