My Approach to Helping

Am I the Right Therapist For You? If you are looking for someone welcoming, highly experienced, sensitive and down to earth, who doesn't rely on prefabricated techniques, but believes the in the healing power of a deep and creative therapeutic relationship, then we just might work well together.

I specialize in extramarital affairs, providing therapy for couples and individuals struggling with this issue. To learn more, please visit my blog, http:www/AboutAffairs.com. I also have a strong background in racial and cultural diversity.

I believe therapy is not only about what happens in session, but between sessions. With that in mind, I suggest a minimum of two initial consultations so that we might see what it would be like to be in process together. Toward the end of the second consultation we discuss what the best next step is, whether that be continuing together or some other form of help.
