This is where I come in, using a person-centered approach, where I first listen and understand your complete picture, and then use my personal and professional knowledge and experience to shed light and give feedback on certain areas for growth. With that, my hope is that our work together serves as the bridge between where you are and where you want to be.

Hi there! We are Doug & Nana, husband and wife, both licensed social workers and therapists. We see couples together. We utilize our professional training, as well as what we have learned from our own relationship challenges and successes. We do not sit back and listen to couples fight. We actively engage and coach. We work best with couples in which both partners are actively seeking change, and we work on (and measure) specific goals of counseling. Although we have attended level 1 and 2 of Gottman Method training, we only use aspects of their approach, because in our experience it seems each couple needs something different.

I’m an Art Therapist and I specialize in helping ambitious women who are healing from abusive or unhealthy relationships find more joy, peace, satisfaction and fulfillment.
