WHAT SETS MY PRACTICE APART

A structured, evidence-based approach to lasting change.

Experience Matters

With over 25 years of professional training and clinical experience I bring a wealth of expertise and practical knowledge to each session.

Comprehensive Assessment

I provide a structured assessment of each couple, which includes the online Gottman Relationship Checkup, and additional proprietary assessment questionnaires developed by Balanced Approach.

Practical Tools You Can Use

At the Feedback Session, each couple is presented with a detailed, multi-page written report outlining relationship strengths, challenges, and personalized recommendations for change. This report and customized plan of action are yours to keep as a resource throughout therapy.

Services

Couples Therapy

Conflict naturally arises in relationships, and how you handle it shapes your connection. Busy schedules or a wish to avoid conflict can cause couples to drift apart, feeling more like roommates than partners. I specialize in rekindling connections and restoring friendship, teaching effective conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, and enhancing intimacy in your relationship.
