About Me

I love witnessing clients move beyond their expectations. I focus on helping clients see their inherent strengths and learn how to recognize and change unhelpful mindsets, relationship patterns, and behaviors. The right therapist can help you make changes that you never thought possible. In my decades as a therapist, researcher and professor, I have seen clients far exceed their expectations.

I strongly believe that secure relationships are essential for personal growth, happiness, and life satisfaction. I foster a strong bond with my clients, and this connection becomes the basis for the work that we do together. It’s important to me that clients feel safe, understood and supported. With this security, clients gain the courage to look more deeply at themselves and make important changes.

In my work with couples, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. We work together to identify where you are stuck, and move forward in developing a closer and more emotionally connected relationship. Many couples find renewed hope and increased connection and passion in their relationships.

More About My Practice

My treatment approach with individuals is integrative, with an emphasis on helping clients gain insight and make behavioral changes. In most cases, I use a combination of psychodynamic, interpersonal, emotionally focused, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) methods to help clients understand themselves, learn healthy coping strategies, and change troublesome behaviors. Thus, we may focus some time on examining patterns in your relationships, thoughts and behaviors and address aspects of your past that may affect your present functioning. My methods promote insight and include directive, and educational interventions out-of-session work focused on resolving problems that you currently face.

I am happy to provide additional information about my approach to treatment and I encourage you to ask as many questions as you like. I strive to have a collaborative relationship with my clients in which we work together in a partnership.

My Specialties

As a certified in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), my current focus is on working with couples in weekly therapy or intensives. I also provide 90-minute intake consultations for individuals and couples seeking one session to gain some direction, with recommendations for resources, treatment recommendations, or follow-up.
