I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a member of The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with families, couples and individuals in their pursuit of greater emotional contentment, personal fullfilment and relationship success. My basic approach begins with a focus on a strenghts of a couple, the family or the individual. I help clients uncover the basic personality strenghts of which they may have been previously unaware, and build on these strenghts to help develop a better understanding of problems and issues during their process of self-discovery. My work with clients is informed by my firm belief that we can learn from our past, achieve a better understanding of our patterns of behavior and view our lives in a new perspective. My traning and orientation considering couples and families includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman's Method, Structual Family Therapy, using Esther Perel's ideas, and CBT.
