"Whether you are in a relationship crisis or just drifting apart, couple therapy is the most effective and efficient way to make a change. Use the 35 years of experience I have to stop the downward spiral and start making things better. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and systemic. I believe people are multifaceted-including physical, spiritual, emotional, cognitive and relational dimensions. Effective therapy is respectful of each of these dimensions. Meaningful change occurs only as these aspects of our selves are understood, accepted and engaged empathically."

"(7/30/18 Note: I am currently running a short waiting list) Stress can be psychologically toxic. In the form of Loss, Trauma, Injury/Illness and Shame, stress can lead to problems with anxiety and depression as well as relationship and behavior problems. A therapeutic relationship is one that improves health by assisting with psychological detoxification and with the establishment of healthy emotional, interpersonal/social, mental, and physical habits to help inoculate against these "toxins." Sometimes natural healthy defenses against toxic stress break down and fail to protect us against painful or maladaptive feelings, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us."
