"I would highly recommend the Intensive experience to any
couple struggling with
sex addiction.  
It is a powerful and
effective way to get the 
issues out in the open 
where they can be
dealt with and healed. "
Three-Day Intensive Couple
Welcome! I am enthusiastic about couples work and its potential for contributing to the fulfillment of the individuals while also relieving problems in the relationship. I have a gentle, empathic style that offers safety for challenging behaviors, developing accountability, exploring feelings and needs - all for greater fulfillment. I help clients explore underlying patterns that may contribute to difficulties for themselves and their relationships, and offer practical tools for communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution.    

If needed, I also have expertise in working with the complex issues of partner betrayal and the devastation of infidelity and addiction. In order to restore trust, safety, dignity and connection, we will address the damage related to disclosure of sexual secrets, the isolation due to (sexual) shame, contributions of family of origin patterns to the current situation, the trauma often experienced by partners and more. 
    
Imagine feeling truly supported by your partner, confident that you can lean into each other and create and enjoy a safe and loving harbor: this is possible! Utilizing a multi-disciplined approach combining Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Imago Relational Therapy and trauma care informed interventions, I also offer extended couple’s therapy sessions as well as, Three-Day Hope and Freedom Intensives for Couples. 

I am currently pursuing certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). This latter link speaks more to working with individuals, but will give you a good sense of couples work as well.

If you are interested in working with me, I invite you to call today at (650) 380-0526 to schedule an appointment, or fill out the contact form below and click Send. I look forward to hearing from you.
