Basic Therapy Stance

Cleaning up the past helps us clear up the future. I consider it an honor to work with people during times of great need. Everyone deserves to be heard and I’ve learned that when understanding is lacking, symptoms develop. My job, as I see it, is to help you articulate your deepest concerns. When this is accomplished, solutions present themselves.

Marital Therapy

Much can be done to rebuild faltering relationships. The studies of Dr. John Gottman, ("America's Relationship Expert") at the University of Washington, are the foundation for my work with couples.  Dr. Gottman work is scientifically sound.  By using his methods I have been sucessful in helping many couples transform their relationship and discover a newfound love and committment.

Depression and Anxiety

As a student of Interpersonal NeuroBiology and Dr Dan Siegel, (www.mindsightinstitute.com) and Dr. alan Schore (www.alanschore.com) I have studied "experience dependent brain change." By clarifying how we have ‘learned’ to respond to social and emotional cues, we can  shed light on how the brain can change its ability to deal with challenging situations. This, along with other bodies of knowledge, i.e. attachment Theory, is at the core of the work we will do together.
