My primary treatment modality with most patients is to work with their thinking and their actions, a cognitive-behavioral approach.

As a certified EFT therapist, I specialize in working with couples who have trouble communicating, resolving conflict, or restoring breaches of trust. Sometimes we feel as though our partner is speaking a different language and attempts at connection only leave us feeling more alone. When we lose faith in our partner 's ability to meet our needs, we tend to respond by fighting to restore a felt sense of connection or by backing off and avoiding conflict to preserve whatever connection may be left. We might feel that our partner doesn't care for us or that we've somehow failed our partners and that we may never get it right.

I also have experience in family therapy involving teenagers and young adults. I have experience in anger management, grief, work related stress and problems of isolation.
