My Services
Individual Counseling
Although I'm open to brief, solution-focused interventions, I prefer to work with clients over the long term, with an emphasis on deep personal and developmental growth. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to be pushed and challenged (and I'm ok with being pushed and challenged back). I feel profoundly non-judgmental and compassionate in this space.
Couples Counseling
My expertise is in couples therapy (a topic on which I read, write and teach extensively). I feel that couples therapy is a good match for my personality, since I do well in the referee role, and am not afraid to take charge of problematic dynamics. I also tend to think in terms of relational dynamics, rather than solely in terms of individual contributions to problems.
Intensive Couples Therapy
In addition to my regular couples therapy services, I also offer two-day intensive workshops for couples. This can be a useful way of speeding up the process for new couples to my practice, getting us more quickly to the point where we can engage in deeper work. It can also be useful for couples who don't intend to do longer term therapy with me but are in extreme distress and would benefit from short-term intensive work to achieve a more sustainable equilibrium in their relationship.
