Welcome! I invite you to take a moment to explore the resources available for couples counseling. If you're interested in learning more about emotionally focused therapy or relational life therapy, please feel free to email me with any questions.
Does it feel like you and your partner (or parent, adult child, or sibling) speak different languages? Are you finding yourselves in the same arguments repeatedly? I can help you reconnect through couples counseling.
As an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and a Relational Life Therapist with nearly 30 years of experience, I utilize evidence-based theories that are trauma-informed.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups to foster more loving, productive, and satisfying relationships. My approach emphasizes emotionally focused therapy, which has proven effective in building deeper connections.
I am passionate about this work and can't envision doing anything else. When you collaborate with me, you are the expert on your life. Sometimes, it's challenging to maintain perspective when emotions run high, but I can offer that perspective in a safe, non-judgmental, warm, and loving environment.
Let’s have a chat (at no charge) and explore what’s happening for you both. Licensed in California and Oregon.
Everything is relational, and I view everything through an attachment lens. We do not exist in a bubble; our relationships with other people and things develop for good reason. In couples counseling, we will explore what is keeping you from that freeing feeling of being your truly authentic self within any relationship. Our goal is to form healthy and secure attachments through emotionally focused therapy and to be genuinely authentic. I will help you get there with EFT and Relational Life Therapy.

I grew up with a straight mom and a gay dad. I co-founded and co-directed COLAGE internationally in 1990, and COLAGE LA in 1987. For over 30 years, I have been dedicated to working with kids who have LGBTQIA++ parents, as well as supporting LGBTQIA++ parents themselves. I am an active, loving, and supportive member of the LGBTQIA++ community, committed to relational life therapy and creating connections.
While I am certainly not versed in ALL cultures, I am trained in cultural sensitivity and incredibly respectful of others' beliefs, customs, and traditions. I see clients of all races, faiths, and cultures.
