Welcome!
I hope you will take a moment to look around.
Please email me if you have any questions.
Are we a good fit?
My Clients
Does it feel like you and your partner (or parent or adult child or sibling) speak different languages? Are you getting into the same fights over and over again? I can help you connect.
I am an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and a Relational Life Therapist in practice for close to 30 years. EFT and RLT are well-known evidence based theories.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups to help you and the special people in your life have more loving, productive, and satisfying relationships. All the work I do is trauma informed.
I love this work and cannot imagine doing anything else. When you work with me, it's collaborative. You are the expert on you. Sometimes it's hard to have perspective when you are so close. I can provide that perspective in a safe, non-judgmental, warm, and loving way.
Let's chat for a bit (no charge) and see what's going on for you two.
Attachment and Authenticity
Everything is relational. I see everything from an attachment lens. We do not exist in a bubble and our relationships with other people and things exist the way they do for good reason.
We will look at what is keeping you from that freeing feeling of being your truly authentic self within any relationship.
Our goal is to form healthy and secure attachments and to be genuinely authentic. I will help you get there.
Personal Beliefs
LGBTQIA++
I grew up with a straight mom and a gay dad. I co-founded/co-directed COLAGE in 1990 internationally, and COLAGE LA in 1987. I have been working with kids with LGBTQIA++ parents (and LGBTQIA++ parents!) for more than 30 years. I am an active, loving, and supportive member of the LGBTQIA++ community.
Welcome
While I am certainly not versed in ALL cultures, I am trained in cultural sensitivity and incredibly respectful of others' beliefs, customs, and traditions. I see clients of all races, faiths, and cultures.
Relationships:
COUPLES:
By this, I mean ANY two people who are important to each other. It could be a parent/child (of any age) combination, siblings, roommates, dating, engaged, married, separated, divorced, co-parenting, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. I specialize in relationships of all types.
FAMILIES:
I work with families in entirety or in any combination. Polyamory, siblings, co-workers, and any relational groups of three or more.
