If you are feeling stressed, depressed, anxious or overwhelmed with your personal relationships or work life, I have over 50 methods in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you. I also use the very successful Gottman Method to help with conflicts in marriage and relationships. I seek to get to the core issues and self-defeating beliefs so you can truly heal yourself and find your joy in life again. I offer Telehealth (Zoom) sessions from my office to the comfort of your home. I do not take insurance at this time, but I offer a sliding scale on an individual basis to those who need it.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidence-based practice to help you uncover your own dysfunctional thoughts and feelings which are causing you needless suffering. Mindful of the power of your thoughts, you can take control of your life by developing positive alternative ways of thinking and behaving.
Using the Gottman Couples Therapy method, I help couples repair their marriages or relationships by teaching healthy communication skills, thereby reducing conflict. Couples learn to be honest and transparent, communicate gently, and rebuild trust and attunement with each other. I am available to take your call or email and schedule a free 15 min consult.
