I teach couples powerful tools and give homework. My background is in Positive Psychology. People describe me as warm, down-to-earth and they say I have a good sense of humor. I think couples therapy should be uplifting -- and show results. I help all kinds of couples: married and unmarried, straight, gay, and couples soon to marry. I'm dedicated to helping couples overcome their problems. I'm even-handed and I find solutions. (And on a personal note, I've been happily married for 30 years). I combine Positive Psychology, CBT, mindfulness, Gottman, and the best of contemporary psychology. I taught in the medical school at UCLA.
Unlike other therapists, I don't use one approach for everyone. I'll create an approach that's customized specifically for who you two are and what kind of help you need. My office is a safe place where couples see change happen in the here and now.
I believe therapy for couples should be 1.) Heart-opening 2.) Practical 3) Filled with insights and 4) Show results quickly . If this sounds right to you, please call and we'll discuss how I may be able to help.
