Mother Teresa

O my dear parishioners, let us endeavor to get to heaven! There we shall see God. How happy we shall feel!

Pope Benedict XVI

I have more than thirty thousand hours of family and relationship counseling experience under my belt. Over the years, I have seen changes in relationship trends walk through my therapy office doors.

I can offer informed advice that makes people feel comfortable, knowledgeable, and confident.
