More Info About My Practice

I do a lot of separation/divorce work in my practice. While I prefer the peaceful approaches like mediation and collaborative divorce (in which I am highly trained), I also work with high-conflict separation/divorce cases. My goal is to encourage cooperation, respect, keeping children's needs foremost, and staying out of court when possible.
I also help couples who are confused about the best direction for their relationship to clarify their best possible choice.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

I always ask clients about previous therapy experiences. This is important so that we identify what worked or did not work in the past for clients; in this way we gain clues in order to avoid certain errors and to provide what clients need.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

The relationship between client and therapist is, I believe, the most crucial element for client comfort level and growth. Clients can expect me to attune to their needs, to be respectful and non-hierarchical, and to discuss whether the work seems helpful or not. We may redirect the work at any point if a client's needs dictate that.
