I can help you learn to develop and sustain the relationship you have always wanted, re-discover the love that brought you together, heal the wounds that have severed your bond re-build the trust and intimacy, communicate honestly and respectfully, handle and resolve conflicts in a way that brings you closer to one another, and build shared meaning, and purpose for you and your family.

I see my role as a therapist to be \"the weather\", to create a climate that facilitate change

The therapist that have influenced me the most are Milton Erickson who was an expert in patterns interruption, and Dr. Michael Yapko who trained me in clinical hypnosis and with whom I still consult as he is a skillful positive strategist therapist who use clinical hypnosis as a tool to enhance therapy. I have been also greatly influenced by the work of Jay Haley, Aaron Beck, Viktor Frankl, John Gottman, and Sue Johnson.
