About
With over thirty years of clinical experience and trained in the two most effective types of couples therapy, Gorman Methods Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, I help couples build a stronger and more satisfying connection with each other with improved communication and problem solving skills.
My fees are moderate to make my services more accessible to those in need of them
Helping couples and helping couples to help each other is very gratifying and the positive impact effects children, relatives and future generations as well. I enjoy the opportunity to get to know and work with a wide variety of interesting people and I am continually learning and growing myself from the experience and work

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Couples Therapy begins with an initial consultation with the to meet them, learn about their goals and get a picture of how their relationship has developed. I also experience their current state of relatedness first hand. The second part of this assessment process is to meet with each member of the couple for an individual session to get to know them, their personal history and their points of view about the relationship in a deeper way. Sometimes having the couple complete some questionnaires about the relationship is incorporated into this beginning assessment as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After receiving my Doctorate Ph.D in Clinical Psychology, I completed my training in Modern Psychoanalysis where I was trained in Modern Psychoanaltic Couples Therapy by Dr Hyman Spotnitz founder of Modern Psychoanalysis. Later in my professional career I was trained by John and Julie Gottman in Gottman Couples Therapy and I was trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy by Dr Sue Johnson (founder and creator) as well as others.
