My practice is focused on helping people improve their relationships. I specialize in helping individuals and couples revitalize their relationships, recover from affairs, and in working with clients who identify as sexual minorities. Many clients worry about finding a therapist that can help them manage intense relationship conflict or accept them as they are. I help my clients by using a structured approach that helps them deescalate conflict, reconnect and really listen to each other’s hopes and dreams. I also provide a space that is accepting regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or relationship configuration.
It is my sincere belief as a psychologist that it is important that we have a chance to gather a thorough assessment before proceeding with treatment. Most of my intake appointments are 90-120 minutes and during that process, I often use psychological assessments to understand your concerns. I believe that a strong working relationship is essential for good therapy to take place and I collaborate with my clients to work on a treatment plan that meets their life goals.
I am a Certified Gottman Therapist and I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my relationship therapy work. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I have received intensive couples/relationship therapy training and completed all levels of Gottman Method training including the certification track. While most of my work is with couples, I also work with individuals using both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and techniques from the Gottman Method.
Many couples put off counseling due to hectic schedules because of work and family obligations. I am able to provide intensive/marathon couples therapy and psychological assessment during evenings and weekends.
