I am skilled at helping couples have the difficult, yet profound conversations that lead to compassionate understanding and change. My approach combines clinical expertise with gentle, yet practical, straight-talk full of compassion and free of judgement.

Insurance
No. Check with your insurance carrier, as some insurance plans offer “out of network” benefits. If you wish to file with your insurance company for “out of network” benefits, I will provide you with a statement that you, in turn, can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Couples counseling is covered by Health Savings Accounts. -
