Marriage and Family Therapist MA, LMFT
Let’s face it. Men HATE talking about their feelings. Really hate it. Women spend their whole lives sharing thoughts and feelings, but that is not true for men. Just the opposite. I understand what a challenge it is for your husband or boyfriend to open up and express their feelings to their loved ones…or even, themselves. I help guys like me talk about their feelings to increase emotional intimacy, decrease conflict and improve their relationships with their girlfriends or wives.
When I was younger, I remember talking to my coach was so much easier than talking to the principal. I can make your partner feel safe and not scolded while we work on issues that create strain on your relationship. By understanding what brought you together in the beginning, can help you fix what is pulling you apart now. This is the essence of Imago Therapy.
My mission is to HELP COUPLES HEAL so you both can have the relationship you want and return to the joyful place you used to share together. Please contact me.
While I specialize in Couples Counseling, I also work with individuals. The issues that individuals deal with are often the result of their interactions with others, be it a parent, a romantic partner, a boss or a co-worker. The stresses in your life are caused by the relationships in your life. I can help you develop the skills needed to navigate around these rocks on your path and together we can map a way to a more happy and fulfilling life. Let me be your guide.
I have been married for over 20 years. Any long term relationship has its challenges, as does ours, but I credit our success to a willingness to always listen to each other. And in working with couples I make sure each person is heard and understood by their partner. My approach with clients is based on balancing acceptance with change. During the course of therapy, I will likely draw upon various psychological theories, techniques and approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral, Gestalt, Imago Therapy, and Psychodynamic. As a therapist, I bring an expertise to our collaboration while you bring self knowledge, the ability to learn from your life experiences and a vision of what you want your life to be. You are invited to, at any time, ask questions about what we are doing and the reasons for the particular interventions. This is your process and your investment.
I am not “in network” with any insurance companies and am a “Private Pay” only practice.
My Standard Fee is $220.00 for a 50 minute appointment. It is my policy to charge my clients on a sliding scale basis with fees ranging from $180.00 per appointment up to the Standard Fee of $220.00 per appointment. If time allows and the appointment exceeds 50 minutes, you will not be charged additional fees for that time.
I offer one free in-office 50 minute consultation.
