Speaking generally, I have had clients profess that their relationships were saved by their work with me, often against seemingly tremendous odds. Others have told me that they wouldn't have gotten or stayed married if it weren't for our work together. Though I am almost machine-like in helping couples find solutions and stay together whenever possible, when it is one or both clients' will to part ways, I have helped them to do so more clearly and amicably.
Clients who are parents frequently feel relief, more patient, self-compassion, understanding, ease and even enthusiasm about their role as parents, about their kids, and about their relationships with their children thanks to our conversations.
I have helped clients find permission to be themselves, whether that meant changing careers, opening relationships, or allowing themselves to be just as and where they are, to trust (and follow) their instincts without being crippled by self-doubt or suffocated by regret, the agenda of others, or shame.
I have been told by experienced clients that I was the most compassionate, on-target, and helpful therapist they've had. Usually the benefit is subtle, a fate shifted in a more satisfying and happier direction, a newfound acceptance of and appreciation for the other in an intimate relationship, less easily triggered, more empowered to make a difference in their own lives and relationships.
I aspire for our sessions to be enlightening, effective, respectful, and usually even somewhat enjoyable for clients. My respect and care for you is demonstrated by a vigilant attention to boundaries that protect and support client safety and well-being, including adherence to established ethical guidelines such as the one to abstain from explicitly or implicitly soliciting client testimonials for my own gain.
In determining if I am the right person to help your relationship and you, I encourage you to trust your instincts as you review my website.
