About

Perspective. Change. Relief.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years experience leading large clinical teams and programs in the treatment of trauma, addiction, marital strain, and family of origin work. I specialize in working with individuals and couples in public facing professions, such as business leaders and professionals, entertainers and creatives. I am an experienced presenter and have delivered experiential keynote presentations to large audiences around the country on subjects such as emotional intelligence, addiction, trauma and the impact of these subjects on family and business systems, including how unaddressed stress can sabotage professional and personal relationships. I am proficient in group therapy, multi-couples/family groups, and working with leadership and business teams. I enjoy consulting and clinical supervision in my areas of specialization. I am happily married and have three wonderful children. I am active in community outreach and volunteer work and love life.
