Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Relationship counseling is a significant part my practice but in a unique way. I often work with one partner as the other either doesn't believe THEY have a problem or simply refuse to participate in relationship counseling. Based in part on my training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with many years of experience, I am often able to improve the relationship by working with the "willing partner". Sometimes this involves working on improving communication skills and or assertiveness. Other times, it may involve teaching behavior modification such as using social or tangible ways that improve receptiveness and cooperation over time. In other situations, it can involve helping client recognize how they may be inadvertently contributing to the kind of behavior they don't like. Almost always it involves a degree of helping the client accept the things they can't change and modify their own beliefs and self talk. My motto is "we do more than listen". Teaching clients new attitudes and strategies to improve their relationships is a very gratifying part of my work with clients.

I specialize in helping couples break out of these destructive communication ruts and rediscover a sense of warmth, safety, and mutual respect. Utilizing the evidence-based Gottman Method Couples Therapy, I provide concrete, practical tools to help you manage conflict constructively, rebuild emotional intimacy, and deepen your friendship. Additionally, my background in trauma and Internal Family Systems (IFS) allows us to compassionately look at how individual past wounds might be showing up in your marriage today.
