Through years of extensive training and experience I have built a proven track record in supporting clients -- whether as individuals or couples in overcoming a variety of mental health concerns and relationship challenges with sustainable results. The primary methods I use are Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman method. These two approaches to couples therapy aim to teach couples healthy and effective ways of communicating, while increasing mutual respect, understanding and empathy, emotional intimacy, and affection. These highly effective approaches are well suited to couples at all stages of their relationship -- helping them overcome frequent conflict, infidelity, and other destructive patterns. They may also be used to educate and strengthen couples who are in the early stages of their relationship and are committed to its long term success.
