About me
I offer a warm, inclusive space to work through what's hard and move toward the life you want. Whether you're coming in with a partner or on your own, I'll meet you with care, curiosity, and real attention to what matters to you.
I love this work. I'm inspired every time a couple who felt hopeless and disconnected finds their way back to one another, and the spiraling arguments give way to honesty and real understanding. I write about that work on my couples blog, if you'd like to read more.
I'm equally moved when someone begins to see light through the fog of a difficult season and reconnects with their own strength and direction. That's why I do this work, and why it still moves me after all these years.
Outside the office I spend time with my children and grandchildren, my dogs, and my partner, in a relationship that has been growing strong for more than thirty years.
