History

Established in 1990.

I graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle and received my psychology degree from Antioch University in San Francisco, California. I am licensed in California as a psychotherapist, MFT, and have practiced for more than 25 years.

When my own relationships seemed harder than they should be, I made an in-​depth study of coupling. As a result, I have a wealth of information about what helps create better communication in relationships.

I’ve interviewed experts for radio and television, and utilized their techniques and approaches to help people improve their communication and deepen their understanding of each other.
