At times, when a more directive approach is appropriate, I use cognitive and/or behavioral techniques.

I would love to offer you these tools, deeper understanding, and helpful insight as you seek to repair your most important relationships.

Whether you're picking up the pieces from infidelity, exhausted from fighting about the same tired topics, or struggling to escape the voices in your head that beat you down, I'm honored to pull up a chair next you and begin sorting through the mess.
