I specialize in effective couples therapy. I work with adult individuals, and men with issues in the area of sexuality and intimacy. In working with couples I focus on self-responsibility, communication (listening when listening is hard, self revealing instead of finger-pointing), expectations, self-awareness, and remaining intimate through difficulty. Throughout the whole process I integrate a focus on kindness without abandoning or avoiding the truth. I also specialize in assisting and supporting both men and women with building the skill and ability to feel and share their feelings effectively in intimate relationships.
I bring to my work 29 years of continued study and experience in Gestalt Psychotherapy. I have studied in the Relational Life Therapy, Passionate Marriage, Quest for the Mythical Mate approaches (Terry Real; David Schnarch; Bader & Pearson). Also Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Hendrix's Imago Therapy approaches.
Your experience of emotional Safety and Security is very important to me. I am deeply dedicated to walking the walk and talk of what I do in my own life, and this informs my work in supporting you non-judgementally and with sincere gentleness, kindness, patience, and welcoming of the sometimes difficult truths in life.
