I have been in private practice for 25+ years. I am very well trained and very experienced. I work with anyone who comes into my office, no matter their problem. I have developed lots of expertise in many areas over the years. My fee per in-office session is $135-$150 an hour. My fee for personal and relationship coaching by phone is $75.00/per half hour.
1- HAPPY MARRIAGES ARE POSSIBLE! Couples and Marriage Therapy
I have studied every aspect of marriage therapy--from pre-marital therapy to co-parenting for divorced parents. This is a huge scope along a single spectrum of couples therapies and coaching. Currently, I am most interested in helping marriages stay together, using divorce-busting techniques. I also can work with only one partner and help them improve the marriage with solo efforts.
"I'm sorry dear. I wasn't listening. Can you repeat what you've said since we've been married?"
In my office the relationship is the "patient" and each partner is a contributor to this "bank." The type of "deposits" made directly impact the well-being of the "bank." The defensive, confused, and resentful deposits hurt my "patient". Consistent acts of kindness, honesty, and compassion make my "patient" healthier. Much of this work depends upon the individual health and growth each contributor is willing to do in my office.

I have been working with couples for 25 years. I have trained with the best marriage therapists in the world and have seen hundreds of couples. I have always approached marriage therapy as distinct from family therapy and as my specialty and gift. I can take the pain in your marriage and bring it into healing and transformation. I think, with my new model of marriage therapy, you have a better shot at fixing or saving your marriage with me than with most other therapists.

EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing for trauma and profound change
EMDR is a power-therapy. It can be done in a few sessions and help you reverse the distorted aspects of unresolved trauma, anxiety, addictions, OCD, and many other personal struggles.
EMDR acts as kind of re-wiring of the brain. This re-programming is necessary to heal and correct the way the brain has tried for years to adapt and compensate for trauma or strangulating disorders that keep you stuck. This stuckness causes distorted thinking, feelings, and reactive behaviors. Brief and intensive healing is possible!
I will be glad to send you more information about EMDR and how it works.
I am dedicated to helping couples through all life transitions. I help couples create and follow their parenting plans in order to make sure the well-being of the children come first. I coach parents to excel at being the best co-parenter they can. I also offer customized parenting education and coaching.
5- Affair Repair Therapy
I will bring you and your partner through the stages of affair recovery from revelation, grieving, honest communication, behavioral changes, and establishing a new kind of intimacy.
