FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
This is a field that is constantly evolving and growing as new research emerges. I attend several continuing education events each year, am in a consultation group to help develop my skills and am constantly seeking new knowledge that will make me a better counselor. I am also actively working toward further certification in the Gottman Method and in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I believe in the power of counseling because I have seen the benefit of it in my own life. The strength of my own marriage, and the joy and satisfaction I get out of it, are a direct result of work I've done in individual counseling and that I have done with my wife in marriage counseling.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Typically, couples come into counseling because their conflict has gotten out of hand, or they feel frustrated with their inability to change how they interact. Others come in because the passion has gone out of their relationship and they end up feeling more like room mates than romantic partners. I can teach you new ways of interacting to diffuse escalated conflict so that it becomes an opportunity for healing and closeness rather than a source of hurt. Working with you and your partner, I can develop a course of action to reinvigorate and grow your relationship into the joyful, satisfying partnership you have always wanted it to be.
