I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Sex Therapist with 18 years of experience helping couples create healthier, more connected relationships.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in corporate America. That background shaped the way I work: structured, efficient, focused, and results-oriented. I get to the point, I explain the “why” behind the patterns you’re experiencing, and I give you practical tools you can use immediately.
My style is direct, honest, and collaborative. I don’t sit back silently — I actively help you understand what’s happening in your relationship and what needs to change. Clients who work with me appreciate my clarity, my insight, and my ability to make complex dynamics understandable.
If you’re ready to dig in and start making meaningful progress, I’m here to help.
