There is a good possibility that you are worried about your relationship or that of someone you love. I am a psychotherapist who uses short-term cognitive/behavioral therapy and psychodynamic principles to work with you on creating the life you want. I work with people individually, in couples and in groups.
Please note, all services are delivered virtually. After exploring a situation to the client's satisfaction, many people need the therapist to ask them what they want to do about a situation that troubles them. The old saying, points out that "If you do what you always done, you will get what you always gotten" (unknown).

Dr. John Gottman is the leading researcher in this area. He and his wife, Dr. Julie Gottman, have created the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy that really works. This is the method I use. I have completed Level 3 Gottman Method Training. I am in the program leading to certification and am a member of the Gottman Referral Network.
This is a time of uncertainty, worry and boredom. It can take a toll on relationships. Everyone is on edge and many of us, irritable. Many couples are fighting more frequently or more intensely than usual for them. For couples who want to use this high stress time to learn something new, I am offering two 90-minute training sessions to help you improve your communication.

I recently felt overwhelmed in certain personal relationships and decided that I needed professional guidance in getting to root causes and to a remedial plan of action. Over a period of several sessions with Peg Walsh my head cleared, and through guided introspection and by employing the tools Peg provided, the concerning relationships stabilized and redefined themselves. Peg's counsel was invaluable.

I recently talked with Peg Walsh regarding some struggles I was experiencing. Of course I was nervous, but Peg made me feel immediately at ease. She listened, made suggestions and gave me challenges. I was stuck in my life and was not moving forward. Ruminating and overthinking which kept me from moving forward with my life She even recommended some helpful reading material. I truly believe she cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her.

We did approximately 10 sessions with Peg and they were fantastic. Due to Covid we participated in Zoom sessions and we both felt they were every bit as helpful and interactive as live sessions. Peg is extremely understanding and articulate, and helped us work through the issues we had. We are both happier than we've ever been and it was well worth it to go through this Counseling. If you're thinking about it, do it, you owe it to yourself to be able to become this complete and happy.

Working with Peg has been an incredible experience for me. She is a very empathetic and patient individual, and an excellent listener. When I moved away from the area, we continued our discussions virtually, which allowed me to maintain our work in a situation that was flexible and accommodating for me. Being able to keep up our sessions from the comfort of my own home was empowering and a truly positive experience! I would highly recommend a telehealth experience from Peg for anyone who is seeking counseling-- although the interface can be unfamiliar at first, Peg was incredibly supportive with

Working with Peg has changed my life, multiple times. She has helped me overcome my mental challenges and provided continued support after any set back. She helped me to change my way of thinking, so that I am able to help myself overcome challenges. Peg is kind, attentive, understanding, available, professional, and supportive. I am always amazed at how I feel after leaving her office. She makes a point to work with your schedule and what is reasonable. She has let me meet her after work, or even call her while I was out of town. She is truly there for her patients. What I love about her methods

I met Peg about 5 years ago. I was going through some tough Marriage issues and having a difficult time getting past them. A very dear friend convinced me that I needed to find someone to talk to. Since my experience with therapists in the past left a bad taste in my mouth, I was reluctant, but decided to give it a try. I interviewed three therapists until I met Peg. I am happy to say I knew the first meeting that she was the one for me. She is very caring and compassionate, but she will never sugarcoat your situation. Peg helped me see that I was in full control of my life and I am now in an awesome

Peg is honestly amazing! She's very understanding and wise. She is reasonable with the scheduling as she tries to work with you to find a time that best fits your daily life. Peg has helped me to keep pushing forward and move on with her wise words and knowledge. I don't know if I'd be where I am today if it weren't for her. I'd definitely recommend Peg to anyone who is going through a tough time or just needs someone who understands and is caring.

Peg is amazing ! I highly recommend her services. My husband and I went to her for couples therapy. We truly believe she saved our marriage. She gives insight and techniques to use to open the line of communication between partners. She gives guided help too. We also had homework to do at home. We think that helped us a ton. To be able to "practice" communicating at home in a different way and we learned a lot about each other we didn't know even after 11 years of marriage. I could go on and on, but bottom line Is Peg is amazing, we now have skills to communicate that we use daily. This has changed
