Wrote a review of her years ago, which for some reason I can't find anywhere. Worst therapist I…read moreever saw. Husband and I had two sessions with her. The first she kind of half-listened to what we wanted to work on (a very specific communication issue), trotted out some gender-essentialist ideas about how sex between men and women works, and was real insistent that my husband must have abandonment issues because he never met his biological father (he does not). Second session, she clearly hadn't read her notes, so we had to reiterate everything we'd come there to be helped for. She then informed us that my dysregulated emotions were the main problem in my relationship with my husband and that she couldn't possibly see us until I'd had DBT. Thank God I have a stable, loving, non-abusive relationship. Imagine the kind of nightmare that situation would have been otherwise-- abruptly discharging a couple after two visits after blaming the entirety of their problems on one person.

This person operates from a couples therapy workbook and it seems, a subscription service, unable…read moreto stray from a script. She was like a teenager telling on each partner to the other after individual sessions. She delivered ultimatums to one partner even without permission of the other. She seems unable to meet the demands of this type of work, she comes off as quite overwhelmed. She also charges exorbitant and unreasonable fees, all the while sending continuous provocative marketing materials in an attempt to upsell her clients to retreat weekends and extra seminars. Quite distasteful and unprofessional.
