My professional background includes several years with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), where I focused on trauma and PTSD. A central part of my role involved the understanding that individuals do not live in a vacuum; personal challenges inevitably impact the entire family system. Consequently, I integrated spouses and family members into the treatment process, gaining extensive experience in marriage and family therapy within a high-pressure clinical environment. Marriage & Relationship Commitment I believe that your marriage is worth fighting for. No matter what brought you here—infidelity, co-parenting conflict, communication breakdown, or simply growing apart—my approach is DIRECTIVE, GOAL-ORIENTED, AND RESULTS-FOCUSED. If you are both willing to do the work, we focus on where you are going, not an endless rehashing of where you’ve been or what hasn’t been working. The Relationship with Yourself Perhaps our most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. We all have something within us that may need to be healed or maintained. If something is keeping you from being your best, we work together to understand why you choose to hang on to it and how to move forward. Sometimes, we may be in a relationship or keep repeating behaviors that are so bad for our individual lives that they hold us back. If this is the case, we need to understand why we choose to stay in those cycles, and what it looks like to choose a different path.
