She had studied the universe all her life, but had overlooked its clearest message: For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love. – Carl Sagan
This quote may be a little dramatic, but to me it’s a friendly reminder about two of the greatest tools we have for helping ourselves: perspective and curiosity. It’s also a reminder of the important role of relationships in our development, happiness, and success. Maybe you feel stuck with a personal problem, a relationship problem, or a different type of problem entirely. As a marriage and family therapist, I am trained to view these issues from a systemic perspective, considering your wants and goals without forgetting the importance of the context in which you live. I work within this systemic view to help individuals, couples, and families seeking to improve their relationships, set and meet goals, and overcome tough obstacles.
My style of therapy is solution-focused and person-centered. This means that while I ask a million questions, none of them have wrong answers. It means I’m not concerned about the “right” or “wrong” solution, but the solution that works for you. It means that I believe you are capable of overcoming your problems, even if you haven’t yet, and even if you’re not sure you can. Perhaps most important of all, it means that the guiding principles for the goals we set will be your own values and beliefs, whatever those may be. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where you can feel comfortable and empowered to make change.

Dr. Paul Stanford, Founder & CEO, says:

It is always a privilege and an honor to witness authentic and lasting change in my client’s lives. My priority as a therapist is to create a warm, non-judgemental, and safe environment for clients to process their emotions, relationships and experiences. You’ve made it here, which means you have already taken action for change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I’ve been trained to walk alongside couples and individuals through the most difficult seasons of life. I use evidence-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy and The Gottman Method to help partners uncover underlying emotions and communicate more effectively for connection, compassion, and caring. Research shows that EFT typically helps 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and over 90% of couples report significant improvement. I am passionate about working with couples and assisting with identifying the deeper roots of their struggles, so that each partner can get what they need and the couple can rebuild from the ground up.
