I only meet online and I accept insurance for individuals but not for couples. I work best with clients who are dedicated to developing new skills that are proven to help with couples issues, anxiety, depression, borderline, bipolar, and addiction. I’m highly competent with and welcome clients of diverse backgrounds including but not limited to LGBTQ+, non-monogamous, sex positive, kink aware, and type 1 Autism (Asperger’s). My clients learn how to develop healthier thinking patterns and integrate new behaviors that effectively improve relationships and manage difficult emotions.
I am Level 3 trained in The Gottman Method of couples counseling, the most researched and proven method available. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I take an active, skills based approach that goes well beyond simply talking things out and I focus only on the most effective methods available.
I won’t bore you with a page full of platitudes about living your best life. Let’s get down to business and use science-based methods to collaborate on changing habits and thinking patterns to better influence emotions and behaviors.
