About Me

My favorite quote is "“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.” (Frederick Buechner). Life is full of beautiful and terrible things. I enjoy working with people in all seasons of life to work through the terrible things so you can see and experience the beautiful things more. I love working with both couples and women. My areas of expertise and special interest include working with couples who feel disconnected from each other and women who feel disconnected from themselves.

I work with women and couples primarily using Therapy Intensives and Retreats. I have been certified as an EMDR therapist. I am a Level 2 IFS Therapist and an IFIO trained therapist. I use IFS in both my individual and couples work. I also have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
