With over 20 years of clinical experience, I own and operate The Purpose Center. I focus my work on leading people and systems to develop their personal and professional health and growth. This includes helping professionals reduce their stress and bring more purpose and focus into their lives. I’m committed to helping you find the best path. Together we will explore and reprioritize your values, so you move onto the next, better stage of your life. We can rebuild your relationship foundation, reduce stress, and reengage in your own life. You can revision the good life you already have. Together we can develop a holistic plan for action that helps you develop healthy habits, grow personally and be a leader in your life and work. Given my work with families going through separation and divorce, I’m committed to help you prevent the disruption of your relationship. Couples counseling is a particularly difficult task to undertake. People often present to couples counseling when they are feeling desperate in their relationship. It is most beneficial for you to present early on in your relationship, before you have identified 'problems'. Working on building a strong foundation can help you develop what Dr. John Gottman coined as a "Sound Relationship House." This involves values clarification, trust and commitment, positive feelings towards your partner, sharing in life achievements, and conflict resolution. I also offer Discernment Counseling to help you reach confidence and clarity if you are trying to determine whether to work on your relationship or separate.
