What should a new client know about working with you?

I am direct and practical. While I will validate your feelings, my priority is to get you tangible results.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A Straight Forward Approach to Fixing a Relationship: 1 / Identify the Problem The first step is to clarify and define the relationship problem. Some couples don't even agree on what went wrong. Like a detective, Dr. Elvina investigates and puts the clues together to pinpoint the actual root of the problem. You know the TV show "House"? Like that, but for relationships. 2 / Design a Solution Every couple is different, so the solution can't be "one size fits all". Instead of generic advice, Dr. Elvina will suggest options that suit the personalities of the two partners. The plan needs to be realistic for it to work. The sessions will be goal-oriented rather than aimless complaining. 3 / Take Action Put the plan into action. Each partner needs to do their part to create real change. If the plan isn't working, Dr. Elvina will troubleshoot and make adjustments until we see some progress.
