Couples Therapy
I have provided couples therapy since 1995. Since 2017, I have also provided Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a research-based approach to assessing and treating couples. I have completed Level 1 and Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, as well as additional Gottman Method training in the treatment of affairs, trauma, and addiction in relationships.
