My Approach to Helping
I'm the creator of the Loving at Your Best Plan, an integrative approach unlike any other marriage and couples counseling or therapy. I use the latest techniques available in marriage and couples therapy for an effective approach that will give you the tools you need to work through even the most challenging conflicts in your relationship.
I also do individual and group therapy using the Life at Your Best Plan, using a structure with a roadmap to help you achieve your goals for a satisfying life and rewarding career.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
Another recent review from an independently verified client (name withheld for confidentiality) states:
"Quite Amazing."
"Travis is a remarkable therapist. He is highly attuned and skillful in the fine art of purposeful relationship therapy deftly integrating aspects of attachment theory and affect regulation. He sees what few can."
What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process
A recent review from an independently verified client (name without for confidentiality) exclaims: "Life Changing" I say this without exaggeration - Travis changed my life. I was one of those people who distrusted how much effect therapy could really have. Yet, I was at a place in my life where something had to change so I reached out to him. His combination of schema therapy, cognitive therapy, and scientific research altered my entire way of looking at the world. I now have a life and career that I love and was always meant to have."
