Individual Therapy

Improve your ability to manage current difficulties, develop new skills and strategies, and resolve issues from the past which may be limiting your ability to move forward.  

In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, I offer "Power Therapies" such as HeartMath, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. These are cutting-edge treatments which can provide improved functioning and more rapid relief from distress than conventional talk therapies.

Couples Therapy

Resolve difficulties, improve communication, and develop new skills so that your relationship can be even more satisfying in the future. In addition to talk therapy and, in some cases, "Power Therapies", I help couples to learn and practice new, effective strategies to improve communication using models such as:

Gottman Method

John Gottman's research shows that, to make a relationship last, couples must become better friends, learn to manage conflict, and create ways to support each other's hopes for the future.

PREP (The Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program)

Based on over twenty years of research at the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University Denver, PREP teaches marital/pre-marital couples essential skills: how to communicate effectively, work as a team, solve problems, manage conflict, and preserve and enhance love, commitment and friendship.

Non-Violent Communication

NVC emphasizes empathic listening and compassionate communication as a way of communicating more effectively and meeting both our own needs and the needs of others more effectively.

Premarital Counseling 

Get your relationship off to a great start by investing in a few sessions of premarital counseling.
