Life is difficult, as we all know, and sometimes painful, so I try to make our sessions as enjoyable as possible. I am an active therapist, and we work together to identify problems and find solutions. Most clients leave feeling more hopeful than when they arrived. You are welcome to ask me any questions you wish, and I recognize that you are evaluating me as much as the other way around.

I specialize in relationships, and help you communicate better, manage anger, resolve conflicts, and consider your future together. I maintain a safe environment, so you can each express your concerns but not feel you are being attacked. I see both parties together and also individually.

I focus on the present more than the past, and help you go forward. I provide written notes on the main points we cover, so that you can remember the suggestions we found helpful. I try to maintain a balance, so that both men and women feel understood.
