I believe in combining a non-judgmental and supportive environment with intellectual curiosity to work with you as a whole person, thoughts and feelings. In our relationship, I believe we are partners working together to determine root causes and patterns to find the best way forward. I am not the expert on you nor do I strive to be. I look forward to talking with you – not at you. I strive to understand you – not judge you. I often integrate the Gottman Method with Emotionally Focused Therapy, which are the two cutting edge models for couples work. I have obtained an ICEEFT Certification for my work in couples therapy. This certification process involved training under some of the top marriage counselors in the nation and submitting taped sessions of my work to an international governing board for approval.
