AbOUT marriage counselor:
For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep interest in how we interact with others and the impact relationships can have on our lives, as well as those around us. I truly feel that it is my calling to help couples thrive in their relationships through the process of marriage counseling. I work with couples navigating a variety of hurdles... from ongoing communication issues to blended family obstacles as well as couples feeling disconnected since becoming parents. I also thoroughly enjoy working with pre-marital couples!
My advanced training in Gottman Couples Therapy is grounded in therapeutic strategies specific to the betterment of relationships and therefore strengthening the family unit as a whole. I have spent a great deal of focused time and energy on perfecting my craft, in order to be the best help I can be for each couple that comes through my office door.
Outside of work you’re likely to find me jamming to 80’s music (music is my medicine), hauling my kids to practices/games and spending lots of quality time with my family and friends - especially my two children, my sports-loving husband and our Aussie, Boomer.
One of the highlights of my career was appearing multiple times on the “KC Live Morning Show” where I shared relational tips and tricks with the city I love so dearly. See the “KC Live Appearances” tab here on my website to watch a few of them!
I truly look forward to working with you.
Questions? I'd be happy to answer them.
