Bio
My work continues to be a very meaningful part of my life. Over my career, I've enjoyed working with all different kinds of people and helping them to create the relationships and quality of life that they want.
I see a lot of couples and use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples is a short-term, scientifically supported therapy that helps people get to the heart of their problems quickly and create lasting positive changes in their relationships. It is regarded one of the most effective approaches to marriage and couple therapy. Research studies find that after 10-12 sessions, 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% of couples show significant improvement. EFT has been shown to be an effective treatment for couples with a variety of issues, including depression, past infidelity, grief and loss, and past trauma.
I am married with three stepdaughters. When I'm not working, I love to garden, read, hike, and travel.
