I believe in creating a safe, open atmosphere where couples can resolve concerns, work towards mutual love and respect and take preventative action steps for their relationships. As a marriage and family therapist, I teach couples how to improve their communication skills by learning how to empathize, mirror and validate.

I am a SYMBIS Assessment certified facilitator. SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is a great tool for effective premarital counseling. It allows couples the skills to build a strong marriage and safeguard their relationship.
