Welcome. Thanks for taking the time to learn about my practice. 
Hardly anyone wishes to end up on a stranger's couch to get help with tough problems. For most it is an unfamiliar and uncomfortable process. So the fact that you are here, taking initial steps to address a difficult issue, deserves my respect and admiration.
Many seek therapy after a long, sometimes lonely, struggle.​
​You're dealing with an issue that is not pleasant or easy to confront. It seems overwhelming or maybe you were told that it could not be resolved. You've tried so many things, but the problem persists. ​Go to FAQs.
What brings you here is hope - or a flicker of hope.
​Something refuses to give up. You find courage to seek help in less familiar places or put your trust in a professional. You hope it is the right professional and that your efforts pay off. Go to Individual Therapy.
I specialize in relationships.
You've found someone amazing to love but you're afraid of making mistakes and falling into hurtful communication patterns. The future of your relationship is too precious to leave to chance. Go to Couples Counseling.
Clients tell me I have a gift.

I can get right to the core of an issue quickly and offer a way forward that years of previous therapy may have not. I aim to make the process of change one that is supportive and just the right amount of challenging for each person. 

​My way of facilitating change is to help you make progress in exactly the way you can do it, not the way others think you should do it.
