I also have extensive experience in step-family transitions and in my personal life I am a stepparent.
I graduated SUMMA CUM LAUDE in both of my Master's in Counseling from GWU and Bachelor's in Conflict Management from SU and began conflict management in 1991 and clinical counseling work in 1999.
My couples training and certification are from the Gottman Relationship Institute in Seattle that integrates leading-edge research on relationships into practical, down-to-earth counseling for couples. No other approach to couples therapy has relied on such detailed, comprehensive, scientific studies of why couples succeed or fail.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Board Certified Counselor and a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist. I completed Dr. Hallowell's "ADD in 2005" and Dr. Amen's "Breaking Free" program in anxiety-depression. I offer unique skills for couples with ADD, depression, and anxiety, and infidelity challenges in their relationships.
You will find me easy to talk to and fair minded to both of you and that my practice is seated in a non-blame based approach to your work. I look forward to hearing from you and starting on a journey of repair and healing.
