I love working with couples. I am passionate about marriage. I have declared war on divorce. It is through a deep sense of emotional safety, relational attunement, and loving responsiveness that we can really experience the gift of marriage. I particularly enjoy working with couples experiencing relationship distress. I value helping couples gain the skills to enjoy passionate, deeply connected relationships. My style of counseling is direct and engaged. I care deeply for my clients and will work hard for you. I believe laughter is healing and want couples to feel safe to risk and be real in the counseling room. I believe in challenging my couples to achieve their goals, all while supporting each unique person with unconditional acceptance. While I love the standard, "How does that make you feel?" question, I believe good counseling must go deeper. I ask my clients to work as hard as I am and challenge them to do so. I profess a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and am comfortable exploring issues of spirituality throughout the counseling process. However you need not be Christian to participate in counseling with me. I will always respect your personal belief system and seek to provide an environment of dignity and respect to all.
