Marriage is a committed framework that enables individuals to create the deepest of human bonds. I believe in it, live it and specialize in helping couples accomplish it. The first goal of the process is for the couple to understand and overcome the "dance", the negative cycle that is getting in the way of their desire to connect. The second goal is to collaboratively create an intimate bond that enables each partner to be there for the other in their everyday and most vulnerable moments - over a lifetime. I have advanced training in several couples modalities and primarily use the APA "gold standard" in couples therapy - EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy), which has over 30 years of research supporting its efficacy.
