Please Note

Online counseling is not appropriate for all
kinds of problems. If you have suicidal thoughts, it's important that you seek help
immediately. You are not alone. If you are located in
the US, call
1-800-784-2433 or 911 and
ask for help. If you are outside the US,
look here
to find the support hotline in your country and area.

My Expert Service
|
|
For over 20 years in my private practice and in hospitals, I have helped individuals, couples, and families discover better ways of dealing with their world. My approach to therapy is compassionate, reassuring and solution oriented. I see individuals for depression, anxiety and sexual abuse. I see couples for premarital, marital, post-divorce, specializing in issues of infidelity, affairs, and cheating. I also see clients for parenting issues, specializing in the problems of new parents.
I use a multitude of therapeutic approaches: cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, existential, behavioral, and family systems therapy, etc. Coming from a teaching background, I am acutely aware that clients have a wide variety of learning styles. I try to fit the method to the client.
When working with couples in premarital or marriage counseling, I assess & facilitate change using the research & methods of John Gottman. This approach for martial success is comprehensive and highly effective. I am a Certified Gottman Educator for the Bringing Baby Home Workshop also. I am in the Central Standard Time Zone and am mostly available for chat or by phone 10:00am to 6:00pm on Monday, 10:00am to 1:00pm Wed, and by appointment on Fri., Sat., and Sun. From time to time you may find me online on Tues, Wed & Thur. Emails will be answered as soon as possible and within 24 hours.
