**Offering video/phone sessions for over a decade!** Relationship counseling is not about being broken, sick or wrong. It's about courage & moving forward. Maybe you fell in love with your partner, enjoyed heady days, but things changed. Maybe your relationship isn't what you want, you "can't seem to get it right", or you're afraid to take the next step. The "happily ever after" soured; however, you can have it better! Your love story can be far more interesting and fulfilling than any fairy tale. Maybe all you need is a little clarity & some skills. It is exciting to discover what makes a great relationship.

Our work together is complete, usually after 6-12 months, when you have met those goals and have a strong, accepting sense of who you are.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. My goal at Epiphany Counseling is to make that choice easier by creating the empathy, nurturance and safety that allows you to freely explore the life situation that brings you to therapy. In that environment, I aim to help you experience a healing process that will restore hope, health and vitality to your life. I believe that almost all of us have the organic capacity to heal and fulfill our potential, but that past experiences have taught us dysfunctional ways to cope. The goal of therapy is to learn new ways of being so that we attain greater health, peace of mind and joy.
