I specialize in couples counseling to increase intimacy and relational awareness by addressing repeating core issues and communication problems to help partnerships and marriages evolve by getting unstuck, realigned, and reconnected. As a \\"husband whisperer,\\" I also specialize in working with men to help them grow--as husbands, fathers, and professionals--to resolve personal issues, manage stress, and improve relational outcomes. For women, I am an advocate for empowerment and interdependence in relationships that supports true mutuality through fairness, justice, and sensitivity. With over 20 years service as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and Texas, I am a seasoned couples therapist trained in Terry Real\\'s Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Dr. Stan Tatkin\\'s Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), and Ellyn Bader\\'s Couples Developmental Model.
