I specialize in child, adolescent, couple, marital, and family relationships using a cognitive therapy approach to dismantle the 'black holes' that keep us stuck. I am the author of "Tears of the Heart" which describes the ways children, adults, and couples get stuck in unintended habits and behaviors that lead them to a land of disbelief and conflict with others and discontent within themselves. My background includes over 30 years of professional experience as a licensed psychologist.

My approach is practical, focused, and down-to-earth with the specific intent of helping clients minimize their emotional pain as they learn to resolve their problems successfully.
