About My Clients
I’ve helped thousands of couples create NEW patterns that bring them closer. Learning effective communication skills is way more effective than rehashing the past. I created a simple tool called Connected Communication to help you both feel heard. If you want to become better partners, reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see how I can help.
My Background and Approach
Most of the clients I work with are successful in many areas of life, yet find themselves stuck in the same arguments at home. How you talk to each other makes or breaks your relationship. If you would like to communicate better, repair faster, and get on the same page for good. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping couples stop fighting, and improve intimacy. My style is warm, direct, and highly attuned. I blend emotional depth with clear structure, helping partners slow things down, listen differently, and reconnect with simple action steps to use both in and outside of sessions. My approach is attachment-based, research-informed, and skills-focused. I integrate methods from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Relationship Therapy, and the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy. I provide therapy for clients in California, Texas & Florida, and relationship coaching worldwide with weekend availability.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
One of the most eye-opening lessons I learned in Marriage & Family Therapy graduate school at USC was that the biggest factor in a client’s success isn’t the type of therapy, the technique, or the duration. It’s the strength of the therapeutic RELATIONSHIP. Feeling seen, safe and supported gives us the freedom to take risks, and become more of who we truly are. As a Couples Therapist & an Infant Mental Health Specialist, I know that the quality of our lives depends on the security in our relationships. I strategically apply my deep understanding of attachment to helping couples create a secure bond. You won’t solve your relationship problems by focusing on what’s wrong or who’s at fault! Over 30,000 counseling sessions has taught me that clients need practical steps to use in & out of sessions to get lasting results. That’s why I created practica tools for couples to connect in just a few minutes a day. Get back to creating shared goals and enthusiasm for the future.
