What's My Approach to Therapy?

When your relationship is at a crossroads and you’re unsure whether to stay or separate, I can help you and your partner find clarity and decide on the best path forward, together. I offer flexible scheduling, longer sessions upon request, and both in-office and Zoom therapy options.
