Welcome! To the Relationship Growth Center

"Dedicated to helping individuals and couples have the quality of life and relationships they most desire..."

Marriage/Couples Counseling:

Most couples have just one or two “core issues” that come up over and over again. Without the skills to communicate well, and to truly understand and empathize with each other, this can be quite frustrating.  You may be wondering if you are with the right person, or if you need to just settle for less than you desire.  Whether you are feeling like your relationship is in major crisis or you simply wish to have the best relationship possible, I am here to help.  My primary approach is Imago Relationship Therapy, a method that I find very effective in helping couples resolve longstanding conflicts, and develop the closeness and intimacy they desire.  My passion for this work has led me to obtain the highest levels of training, and to become a member of the Faculty of the Imago Institute.  I train other marriage and couples therapists nationally, and was recently honored by being chosen as Dean of the Faculty of the Imago Institute.  In short, I know that choosing a competent therapist is vitally important to you, and I hope to bring you the skills and support your relationship deserves.

Individual Counseling:

People seek counseling for a variety of reasons: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or simply the desire to improve their lives and relationships.  My goal is to work with you to discover what is getting in the way of having both the “inner” and “outer” life you desire.  I have trained in a variety of experiential approaches including Gestalt, Voice Dialogue, and Internal Family Systems.  I believe that deep change only happens when we have greater awareness of our “inner selves” (you know--all those voices inside!), and develop the capacity to heal ourselves.  I will walk with you on this journey.
