For over thirty years I have been providing individual, couple, family and group therapy. I bring accumulated experience, skill and knowledge to help people resolve the difficult and complex problems we often face. I am actively engaged with my clients and I will give you suggestions and guidance and help you generate hope. With couples, I avoid taking sides and teach methods of speaking and listening to one another.
Whether you are an individual who has lost a sense of who you are, or a couple feeling distant and lonely, this is an opportunity for you to reach out and change the places you are stuck. COUPLE THERAPY: Are you growing farther away with each passing day? Are betrayals, mistakes or past grudges keeping you from healing and having the relationship you want?
PREMARITAL & REMARRIED COUPLES: Identify how to make your marriage a success, not just your wedding day. Learning how will give your ceremony true and lasting meaning. And, if you are remarried, with children from one or both first marriages, learning to form a new family, you may find this an unexpected challenge.

Usually once a week is helpful, especially if you and/or your relationship are in a lot of distress.
Less than that, in my experience, is not helpful for people to feel the benefits.
There are studies on couple work that indicate couples make the most changes in the first 4-6 weeks of the counseling process.
Later, when an individual or a couple feels improvement, moving to less frequent sessions can be a consideration.
HOW LONG IS A SESSION? Sessions are 45 minutes in length fo individuals and 75 minutes for couples.

Not every therapist and every client are the right match for one another.
Each person may not be looking for the same quality or style in a therapist.
In addition, therapist's approaches to therapy differ and some people may not fit some approaches.
Finally, the personality of the therapist and the personality of the client must be a good fit.

Actually, the relationship itself has been found to be more important in therapy than the approach, and how someone feels about their therapist is extremely important to the outcome of therapy.
How the changing is done, is primarily through verbal discussion, emotional support and positive regard.
Homework and other tasks may be helpful as part of the process.
Although therapists follow and use many techniques to help their clients, the studies done on therapy outcomes have consistently found that it is the relationship with the therapist that is the most important predictor of positive outcome in psychotherapy.

Are you feeling a little unsure about what to expect during the first psychotherapy visit?
Is it your first time ever coming to see a therapist?
Anxiety may be experienced and expressed in different ways by different individuals.
Some people feel tense and guarded, finding it hard to relax.
Sometimes, the relief of finally beginning to talk about a problem may result in an uncontrollable urge to cry.
Some people talk rapidly.
Everyone is different, and that's okay.
Knowing what to expect in a first session can help people to feel more relaxed.
