Note:I am seeing couples on Tuesdays/Wednesdays. Do you want to be in a happier, healthier, more secure relationship? As a Psychologist and PACT Certified Couple Therapist, I help partners develop a safe, loving, connected relationship. My work with couples is attachment based, assisting couples with communication, creating trust and deepening emotional and physical intimacy. My counseling approach is active and warm, based on best practices and over 25 years of clinical experience. I also specialize in trauma and I am certified in EMDR. My training as a yoga teacher brings a mindfulness based approach to my work.
Specialty areas include relationship concerns, marital/premarital counseling, betrayal, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Couples seek me out to help with communication problems, improving physical and/or emotional closeness, dealing with infidelity/affairs, managing blended family dynamics, and revitalizing long term partnerships.
I have over 20 years experience counseling couples. I assist in leading couple retreats and I have written several articles on couple relationships. I value my work with clients and strive to provide a safe and nurturing space for healing and growth. Feel free to reach out to me with questions or to schedule a consultation in person or by phone.

PACT couple therapy focuses on neurobiology (how each of you brains are wired), attachment (how to work towards secure attachment so you feel connected) and arousal (learning to fight fair and talk about hard things while gaining resolution). Couples describe this work as fast acting and long lasting. Couples create the relationship they have always wanted.
