“Working as a therapist with The Couples Institute Counseling Services has really boosted my skills and confidence as a couples therapist!  I enjoy working with couples more than ever, and continue to learn and grow in the developmental, neuroscience, and attachment models as a foundation for my couples work.  I look forward to meeting with my fellow therapists at our team meetings where we share cases, teachings, and laughter.  I am going on my fourteenth year with our group, and I continue to enjoy the benefits in my personal and professional life.  I hope you can too!”
