My website
I am passionate about working with couples to achieve a more intimate and satisfying relationship. In therapy, I work with each individual to identify issues that are interfering in achieving these and use a strengths-based approach to support clients to develop better ways of relating. I believe that being human is a developmental process and while a lot of the development comes naturally, we are all faced with obstacles that interfere with getting better. My experience has been that as we get better at overcoming these obstacles, the better we feel in our lives.
My approach to therapy is to help people see these obstacles clearly and to harness the courage to overcome them. My style is direct, compassionate, and I like to be humorous in my work with people.

I specialize in working with couples and work with each partner to address ways they can overcome obstacles to intimacy. Clients who I have successfully worked with report feeling seen, having more passionate sex, and feeling more solid in themselves.

I primarily use Crucible and Gestalt therapy; I get to the root of the issue by asking a lot of questions and developing a picture of what is happening in client's lives that is creating difficulties. Once we get to the root of the issue, I work with clients to use their courage to overcome obstacles towards living a more fulfilled life.
