Philosophy:
Relationships are a difficult endeavor. Everyone wants the "perfect" one; but how do we get there? Most often open and honest communication is mentioned, but what happens when communication is the problem? When you are afraid to express yourself to your husband, wife, or partner, given current or past experiences. Often difficulties in communication are indicators of deeper underlying issues in your relationship. Identifying these issues and working through them can aid couples in coming closer to that "perfect" relationship.
I work collaboratively with couples whether married or dating, carefully listening to both sides and providing an honest and unbiased ear. I provide a place where couples can speak honestly and for some be heard and understood for the first time.
