With a passion for inspiring individuals to claim their own personal excellence, my expertise is in understanding interpersonal dynamics, and successfully coaching individuals, couples, families and groups into reaching their highest self. My background includes a degree in Organizational Communication, a ten year career as a Technical/Corporate Instructor, and fifteen years of coaching/Therapy with a Master of Arts in MFT. Along with my private practice, I teach Zumba (dance inspired group fitness). I look forward to our meeting and becoming part of your journey.
My primary theoretical focus is Bowen Family Systems. This theory has proven over and over again to be effective, not only with families, but in all realms of individual and relationship problems.
The therapist must have a map to help facilitate the client's journey. Bowen Family Systems is that map.
