I'm a relationship therapist with more than 15 years of experience helping couples and individuals improve and heal their most important relationships. Couples on the brink, people dealing with the aftermath of an affair, empty nesters who need to reconnect, LGBTQ clients looking for a safe space to work through issues…all are welcome in my comfortable Blue Ash office!
Both individuals and couples come to me to make effective and lasting improvements in their relationships. I use a mix of techniques and philosophies to help my clients identify, understand, and create a plan to deal with whatever’s not working in their lives. I take a coach-like approach, offering advice, giving homework, and providing clear feedback and direction. I’m practical, strengths-focused, and solution-oriented.
I’ve been trained by some of the best in the field: Terry Real, John and Julie Gottman, and Sue Johnson, to name but three. I’ve also been trained by my clients themselves, who continue to surprise me with their resilience, creativity in solving problems, willingness to try new things, and open-heartedness in the face of pain.
I particularly love working with men, helping them find the crucial balance between the vulnerability needed to really connect with others and their natural masculinity. When they find that sweet spot, it can transform their relationships, their work and themselves. It’s powerful stuff!
