My Approach to Helping

I have specialized in working with couples for over 30 years. I try to actively identify personal and relational strengths, such as trust, affection, commitment, respect, flexibility and repair, among others, in order to utilize and promote them to help couples reach their goals in treatment. I begin couples work with a focused couples evaluation designed to determine whether treatment is indicated and to quickly identify key problems, strengths and promising directions for treatment. I also see adult individuals and sometimes conduct EMDR with individuals or in the context of couples therapy.
More information on my philosophy and approach is available on my website.
