My Approach to Helping
I work only with couples -- and I am constantly inspired by the work my clients do to improve and strengthen their relationships. It is such a joy to partner with them along the way! Being in a marriage or committed partnership with another human being is such hard work -- but the reward for that effort is a deep lifelong connection. I believe in couples counseling because I have witnessed the changes that it can bring and I have dedicated my practice exclusively to helping my clients improve their relationships.

 

More Info About My Practice
I have a sliding scale based on household income - it ranges from $65-90 for a 70 minute session. I also offer some limited email counseling for couples who have already seen me in person.

 

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I work only with couples - so my focus is on the underlying emotions and issues that keep clients from connecting in the moment. I see our work as locating those \"high-jacking\" moments and learning to integrate them into the relationship so that it no longer gets frequently derailed.

 

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I love working with clients as they move from a really stuck place to remembering what first drew them together. I have experienced long-lasting change both as a client and as a therapist.
