I am candid, straightforward, and solution-focused…I will get you results!  Before I became a counselor, I worked for 15 years in sales and marketing at a Fortune 100 Company. Married for 32 years, I am an authority on pre- and post-marriage counseling, assisting couples with realistic ways to strengthen and enrich their connections.  I believe that a successful partnership brings intimacy into all areas of one's life, including the intellectual, social, emotional, physical and spiritual arenas.

I have been sober for 21 years, and I am a Certified Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist who knows how to help you get sober and stay sober!   I tackle obstacles such as entitlement and low self-esteem that can accompany substance use disorders, and l work with the affected families.

I also assist individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, food and eating disorders, family relationships and men's issues.  Additionally, I support clients with body image conflicts, parenting differences, codependence, dating difficulties, sexuality and stress. 

I have one married 28-year-old son, and I am a Certified Parenting Facilitator. I advise parents who are striving to abide by court-ordered parenting plans or who need education and help in developing their own parenting agreements.
