Personally Speaking
I practiced in Maryland for 23 years before relocating my practice to Henderson, Nevada—a quiet suburb just outside of Las Vegas. We moved here in 2016 to be closer to our grown children and family in both Henderson and in California. My daughter lives in Los Angeles.
As empty nesters, my wife Peggy and I are enjoying this area of the country. It’s much warmer than our former home in suburban Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC.
Peggy is also a therapist. She graciously agreed to move back East so that I could be closer to my family in the 1990s.
Now it was time to return the favor.
Our move out west brings Peggy back to her roots.
I love traveling, hiking, and visiting the many wonderful National Parks out west—including the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Yosemite.
I am a passionate college football fan, and I’m an avid reader. Stirred by Carl Sagan decades ago, I love reading about astronomy, the cosmos, and science in general.
I also have a fondness for the architecture and design of Frank Lloyd Wright. When we lived in Maryland, our favorite destination was Wright’s Fallingwater House.
Now living out west, we visit Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.
We’re just getting started. We are looking forward to visiting more Frank Lloyd Wright homes and buildings in the near future.
My clinical office even has some Mission-style furniture and lamps, as well as designs reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work!
Dr. Wolfe is a hugely gifted therapist. He’s kind, intuitive, and deeply knowledgeable—with a calm, supportive presence that helped us understand our triggers, use the tools safely, and strengthen our commitment. We’re enormously grateful to have chosen him.”
My interest and passion for couples and family therapy began with my graduate school dissertation on couples. I studied how relationships develop and learned what predicts marital satisfaction over time. One of the things I learned was that empathy is a key ingredient in marital satisfaction.
In the late 1990s, I first heard John Gottman present his research to clinicians, and after taking Level 1 Gottman Training, I was immediately hooked.
By 2006, I got Certification in the Gottman Method and was certified as a Gottman Workshop Leader, Trainer, and Consultant. I later got interested in Emotionally-focused couples therapy as well and integrate that into my work.
I am proud to be one of a handful of Senior-Level Master Gottman Trainers and Consultants worldwide. I love this work. I have a deep passion for helping couples survive their toughest times and restoring hope and their deep connection to each other.
I invite you to reconnect, restore, and repair your relationship with me in Henderson—this getaway destination just minutes from exciting Las Vegas, Nevada.
