For many individuals (or couples) it is difficult enough just committing to contact a therapist...but then, who is a good fit? Many of my clients indicate they appreciate my more 'active-therapist' approach. Jointly we discuss various solutions with honest feedback, as well as support. My work with couples specializes on those experiencing communication challenges, rebuilding trust, or substance related issues, and even finding that intimacy again. My decade as a Supervising Family Mediator for the Superior Courts has given me valuable experience in dealing with ending coupleships and co-parenting strategies.
I specialize in working with couples, regardless of the difficulties they are experiencing. I see couples, where everything seems hopeless, and those that could just use a 'tune-up'. Communication is often a top problem, along with parenting and intimacy issues. I have numerous strategies and tools to correct even unidentified communication problems.
Each therapist brings their education, personal experience, and unique style to the therapeutic process. I find it especially rewarding that so many of my clients are referred by previous and current clients. My own life experience provides yet another level of sensitivity, compassion, and guidance to my process.
