Marital/Relationships: I am a Certified Gottman Relational Therapist. I have studied with Terry Real. I include the teachings and interventions of these two leaders in the field of relationships in my work with couples, as well as the teachings in Emotion-Focused Therapy of Susan Johnson and Leslie Greenberg.
I recommend couples read Gottman's book, "The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work" and Terry Real's books, particularly "The New Rules of Marriage".
I am trained in EMDR and find it immensely helpful with many of my clients, particularly those who are recovering from trauma.
I have studied with Don Beere, Ph.D., the local expert (and a national expert) in the diagnosis and treatment of DID.
I have studied Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Christine Padesky (whose book, "Mind Over Mood" I recommend)

Payment Options
I accept personal checks or cash. I do not accept credit cards.
I resigned from all insurance panels several years ago. There is no managed care administrator limiting the number of sessions I can offer you. I work with every client in the most efficient way possible. I assume you would prefer to spend your money on something other than time with me. That said, therapy is an investment in yourself and the rest of your life. I seek to help you maximize your return on that investment.
