Why I Do This Work

For many years, becoming a couples therapist was a dream that felt out of reach. After raising two children, caring for an elderly family member, and pursuing careers in the corporate world and the healing arts, the time finally came for me to follow my passion. In 2021, I began my journey towards earning a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and entering into the therapy world with a passion to support individuals and couples. 

With 30+ years of marriage, I have lived through transitions that brought both joy and challenge. My lived experience enriches my work, helping me connect with clients on a deeper level and guide them towards meaningful growth. 

I do this work because relationships are the foundation of everything—from our sense of self to the stability of our families. I became a couples therapist because I wanted to help people break the cycles I saw growing up: disconnect, betrayal, emotional distance, and the ripple effect those patterns have on children.

My purpose is to help partners heal attachment wounds, navigate major life transitions, and rebuild trust in a way that feels grounded, compassionate, and real.

I’m driven by the belief that people can change, relationships can recover, and families can thrive when couples learn the tools they were never taught.

Helping couples go from crisis to clarity—from barely holding on to building something stronger than before—is what keeps me passionate about this work.
