Specialized Psychological Services for Complex Relationships
With over four decades of experience as a licensed psychologist, I specialize in addressing complex marital, couple, and family dynamics that often defy conventional therapeutic approaches. My practice focuses on neurodiverse relationships, including those involving Asperger Syndrome, high-functioning autism, empathy dysfunction, and co-dependency. I offer online video therapy sessions to clients worldwide, providing tools to reclaim personal agency and improve relationship quality.My expertise extends to entrepreneurial couples navigating work-life balance and individuals affected by high-conflict divorce scenarios. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, neuro-emotional techniques, and systems-based approaches, I help clients develop tailored solutions that address their unique challenges while fostering long-term emotional resilience.
