Is your marriage or partnership showing signs of stress? Not sure if blending families is a good idea? Over 60% of blended families in the U.S. do not succeed and this impacts children's mental health. I help couples in conflict or who have grown apart create a more loving home using evidence-based methods, including the Gottman Method, Terry Real's Relational Life and Bader-Pearson Couples Therapy. I utilize compassion- and mindfulness-based methods to improve your parenting AND your partnership at the same time, while addressing the underlying causes of conflicts. I work primarily with adults.
I have over 25 years of experience with families of diverse backgrounds & orientations, and have practiced mindfulness/ meditation for years. I am a former Family Court and Divorce Mediator, social worker in the foster care system, and school counselor. I am the proud stepparent of two kids now in college. Complimentary phone consultations are available.
I utilize mindfulness practices, compassion- and acceptance-based methodologies, combined with Gottman couples counseling, step-family counseling, and mediation and conflict resolution strategies. When appropriate I also employ expressive arts therapies, particularly art and drama therapy, and Voice Dialogue.
