My style of therapy is very much like my personality: down to earth, humble, funny sometimes with slight sarcasm, direct, and blunt in a loving way. I do not place blame on either partner in the relationship. I don’t choose sides, but I will challenge you both to change your behaviors, so you can have the best relationship possible. I am incredibly enthusiastic and tend to be an overachiever especially with clients who are motivated and open to change and grow. I have a sense of humor about myself, and I encourage my clients to adopt the same attitude.
But I can help. Weird fact about me: in my past professional life, I was an insurance claims adjuster for disaster damaged properties. And there's one thing I learned: if you want to be built to last, you've got to have a rock-solid foundation.
As a specialist in the acclaimed Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, I can offer you an arsenal of practical tools and strategies for building a solid relationship house that's capable of standing strong when life gets bumpy. Call me today and let's get to work.
