  I am a licensed psychologist with extensive, international training in marital and family therapy. I am very interested in how people in relationships affect each other and in helping couples and families to communicate more effectively. My emphasis is on bringing out people's strengths and in building resources for growth and better coping. Key concepts in my work with clients are; setting reasonable expectations, moving from complaints to requests, validation of feelings, possibilities, and getting beyond blame. I try to find a balance between practicality and helping clients to find a greater sense of meaning in their lives.
