I only work with couples. Are you tired of feeling ignored, controlled, or manipulated? Do you want to enjoy your marriage again? Do you remember what it felt like to feel cherished and loved, and to really connect with each other?
Approach Description: I take a direct, no-nonsense approach to marriage therapy. I'm also calm, compassionate, kind, and curious in therapy sessions. I make a point of directly confronting any attempts at deception or manipulation that come up during therapy. I specialize in working with couples who struggle with narcissism, emotional abuse, anger, and avoidance.
I also have extensive experience working with anxious and avoidant attachment, affair recovery, and differences in sexual desire. I am trained in Crucible Therapy Approach developed by David Schnarch.

My wife and I spent many years working with many therapists to rebuild our own marriage. We were so tired of avoiding each other, walking on eggshells, and feeling sad, overwhelmed, and disconnected. When we finally did find a therapist who helped us heal our relationship, I went all-in on learning how to do the same thing for other couples.
I am passionate about my work helping couples improve their relationships, move past jealousy and avoidance, and create new relationships full of love, honesty, kindness, and courage. There is nothing I want to do more in the world than help create more rewarding marriages.
