approach & philosophy

straight talk, decisive action

We’re trained, experienced therapists. Because we also work as coaches and mediators, we also know that people often don’t need years of therapy to figure stuff out. We know your time and money is valuable, and we honor that with honest guidance.

And when an important relationship with your partner or child is at the eleventh hour, people often don’t have time for the deep psychological work that will move to the very root of things. 

Instead, you need practical action steps, support for executing them, and accountability for carrying them out.

 We work efficiently, with no tiptoeing around, calling you on your BS, and holding everyone in the relationship accountable for their part in needed change.  At the same time, we know that you are in a tremendously difficult period of your life. We’ll support you emotionally and help you find the emotional tools to do the same for yourself.

And your decisions are yours

We support you in making the decisions that are best for you. We know you come to us for direct, compassionate guidance, not to be told what to do. The decisions are yours, and we will help you move ahead in the ways you determine to be best for your situation.
