Taking time to improve relationships, marriages, self-confidence, and leadership style takes work. Most people can't find the time, or don't want to change until it's too late. Richard will give you tools to pivot into success, reach optimum health and achieve your best potential in relationships and career. He trained at Harvard Medical School in Narrative Medicine and M.I.T. Sloan School of Management in Neuroscience for Business. Prior to working as a therapist, he assisted Academy and Emmy Award winners and gained first hand experience about the demands of success while balancing creativity, career, and relationship goals.

I see patients who want to improve their marriages and are in the middle of a relationship crisis. They see that their relationship has changed and are interested in making their relationship and lives better. I prep individuals for marriage counseling when both partners are not ready to meet with a couples therapist and talk about what changes are needed.

I look forward to hearing your life story and helping you to develop and shape strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges while using psychotherapy methods that best suit your needs. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and look forward to our consultation.

Are you interested in making your relationship better, while your partner doesn't feel ready for change? I'll help you along that process until couples therapy begins. I work with patients wanting to improve themselves and their relationships and are in the middle of a relationship crisis because they see that they have changed and their marriage has changed. I use CBT and the Gottman approach.

I use CBT and various approaches to help you calibrate your emotional system by integrating the left and right modes of the brain, working through belief systems and past experiences. I'll be there to listen and help guide you from a place of negative thoughts to a more realistic picture of sometimes unseen events under the influence of conflict, arguments, disagreements, stress, or sadness.
