I am not accepting new clients at this time. I work specifically with couples using emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Counselor strategies for couples and marital issues are much different than what a traditional counselor might utilize. I am a systemic couple’s counselor, this means that I see your relationship as my client. EFT is the most empirically validated treatment protocol based on 50 years of research to help couples reconnect and feel fulfilled. EFT can help by focusing on your attachment bond.

My hope is that you will gain a greater understanding of yourself and your partner. When couples set up an appointment with me they will get in quickly and experience a specific treatment approach to couples therapy.
I see myself as a guide and a partner, who can empower you to take control back in your life and relationships. My approach is active and direct in an effort to help you tap in to your inner strengths. Contact me today so we can start this healing journey.
