Personal issues with individuals and couples who have reached success in many areas of their life but have persistent issues that don't resolve on their own. I focus on rebuilding trust, managing anxiety, improving communication, lowering tension and joint decision-making. I transform stagnant and frustrating relationships into the relationship of your dreams by improving communication, addressing anxiety, rebuilding trust, sexual satisfaction & identifying relationship goals. I work with on a private-pay basis and all communications remain confidential.
My approach is warm, conversational and goal-directed. I use the Gottman Method for couple therapy along with cognitive approaches to help clients identify the obstacles that stand in the way of living their best lives. My solo, private practice complete affords complete confidentiality, experienced therapists, scheduling ease and superior results.
I welcome you to email or text to set up a time to talk to see if we are a good fit. My unique approach enables clients to reach their goals and lead vastly more fulfilling lives. I believe strongly that the right therapy can dramatically improve lives and relationships and is well worth the investment of your time and finances. I respond to every inquiry.
