Relationships can be the most wonderful thing in the world. But, there are also times when couples can feel hopeless and wonder if they should stay together.

Therapeutic fit, or how well we “click,” is one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy. In therapy you’ve got to feel able to take risks and be vulnerable.

I am trained in DBT (type of emotion regulation sk...

I believe that we all have strengths within us that give us the capacity for healing, but often difficult life events can cause us to lose touch with those strengths.

It has been my experience to help individuals reconnect with their strengths, and use the abilities within themselves to be resto...

There is no such thing as the ideal client. What I strive for is to make the ideal bond between client and therapist. It’s extremely important to have a comfortable, open, and honest relationship with your client to help create a positive therapeutic environment. Clients should be motivated and engaged in what they want to see as their outcomes. It is ok to come into therapy not being able to...
