Accepting Clients

I believe the most important component of good therapy is a collaborative relationship. Good therapy begins with a therapeutic connection.

About My Clients

I serve couples online who are considering whether to stay or go, couples who want to save a marriage after infidelity, polyamorous couples, pre-marital counseling, couples who want to co-parent more effectively, and couples who want a stronger connection. To communicate better I use what I’ve learned to guide couples in how to disagree without hurting, highlight what is already working, and uncover the struggles they’re facing to get to the core reasons why we get stuck.

My Background and Approach

I teach couples how to really listen and understand each other to begin the hard work of healing broken hearts, betrayals, and bad behavior. The most important component of good therapy is to feel a connected and collaborative relationship to your therapist. And that is what I have provided to my clients going into two decades of mental health work.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Lead the least secretive life you can. Shame and guilt will magnify your stress enormously. Suffering in silence is terrible. These types of problems don't get smaller. They usually get bigger left untreated. I encourage you whatever your struggles are don't keep them to yourself. Share your story with someone you can trust. That someone can be me.
