About Us

I believe that many emotional problems people experience stem from the accumulation of previously well intentioned but flawed solutions for every day difficulties. These solutions often create secondary dysfunctional issues which aggravate the original problem. This vicious cycle is particularly relevant to relationships. Unreasonable expectations of oneself and others combined with inappropriate behavior in certain situations contribute to the downward spiral. Using evidence based strategies, I coach clients to make the appropriate attitudinal, emotional and behavioral changes necessary which can result in creative and workable solutions to their difficulties resulting in lasting emotional growth and greater satisfaction with their lives. , I practice short-term, goal oriented, direct therapy which incorporates strategies derived from evidence based research. I specialize in individual therapy, pre-marital and marriage counseling, and in parenting and family issues.

Therapy sessions often end with a behavioral assignment. The focus of treatment is not only "to feel better" but also to learn more appropriate behaviors. My aim is to achieve improvement in less than twenty sessions.
