Great to meet you!

I am skilled at helping you learn and practice skills which can lead to a more fulfilled personal and professional life. I also work with "mixed agenda", couples (couples on the verge of a break up), who need short term counseling to help them make their own decision about what their next steps will be.

You can learn how to become more effective partner, listener, and communicator. Repairing hurt, betrayal or disilliusionment can clear the way to focus on what needs healing and guidance on how to facilitate that process.

My approach to therapy

My theoretical foundation in Cognitive/Behavioral, Psychodynamic and Family Systems oriented therapy enable me to work with individuals and couples in relationships. Teaching communication skills along with conflict resolution and negotiation skills give patients practical tools to meet the demands of long term committed relationships.

What you can expect from me

Relationships and Life Transitions can be challenging. Successful partnerships don't happen by accident. DISCOVER individual blocks to become the partner you want to be. CREATE a relationship that brings out the best in you. CHANGE unproductive thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck.
