My therapy focuses on bringing about transformational change by directly approaching the core conflicts at the foundational level. Specifically, I use an innovative psychotherapy program called De->Brief Therapy (dialectically oriented and emotionally focused brief relationship therapy). This approach to relationships and emotional trauma can stop couples from divorce and fix communication problems by training partners to be supportive of resolving difficult emotional patterns and development of internal coping mechanisms. In particular, we teach how to understand the underlying psychological messages unwittingly communicated between partners. We welcome both individuals and couples to renew their hopefulness and empowerment in life by resolving underlying anxiety and trauma. The De Brief Relationship Therapy Program is an original method of transforming the way couples support each other, going beyond the typical debriefing process that exists between couples and their therapist. Research shows that stress destroys relationships even more than maladaptive patterns. We create a brief, radical transformation of the process. I have experience with high profile individuals and understand the importance of confidentiality.Since I am sensitive to your privacy concerns and flexible in my scheduling, we can work together to create a plan that is effective.
