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 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 have completed Level 3 Practicum Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work. While most most of my work is with couples, I also work with individuals using 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 offer appointments during evenings and weekends to better accommodate my clients’ busy schedules. I am also able to provide intensive couples therapy for couples in distress.
