Through our work together, my hope is to help couples and individuals gain skills, education, and clarity to create a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship and life.
As a therapist, it is my belief that every individual has the ability to grow, heal, and transform themselves. Life can be chaotic, unexpected, and turbulent. It can take a toll on us in ways we did not imagine and were unable to foresee. It is my goal to assist you when there is chaos, to hold your hand through the unexpected, and to be a guide during the turbulence. It is of the utmost importance in practicing therapy that I create a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to foster healing.

You've recognized that to navigate life's challenges, sometimes you need guidance along the way. You may have tried traditional therapy in the past, but are aware of an inner longing for a deeper, more soulful change. Whether you're seeking help for yourself, your relationship, or family, it would be an honor to be a guide along your path. My approach is the natural outcome of my training in Contemplative Psychotherapy, 20+ years as a meditator and counselor for children, adults, families and couples, and the calling to support other in going "Beyond Therapy."

I have worked with individuals and couples contending with depression, anxiety, anger, mood instability, substance abuse, finding purpose and meaning, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and relationship dynamics with partners, friends, family and coworkers.
While experiencing pain is a part of the human experience, long term suffering does not have to be. Life brings with it a rich and vast set of experiences which can include complex and confusing family dynamics, navigating relationships, death of a loved one or an animal, an end of a relationship or friendship and existential questions around who we are, what our purpose(s) are in life and why we matter. For some people these existential questions and the emotions that accompany them have come closer to awareness in the face of climate change.

I specialize in working with people experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD, but have worked with a variety of clients and different demographics, including those seeking couples therapy.
I enjoy working with clients that are looking to incorporate healthy habits into their therapeutic journey. Some tools that have been most effective in supporting my clients are yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, somatic awareness, parts work, exercise and nutrition. However, each client is unique and finding tools that resonate with the individual is important to me. I have experience with CBT, DBT, ACT, parts work and Hypnotherapy, but pull from other therapies as well.

I am passionate about relationships and would love to be able to help anyone struggling in any relationship. I am currently an intern student completing my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University. I implement a variety of evidence-based modalities when working with clients. I appreciate how Emotionally Focused Therapy focuses on how our early experiences inform how we engage in adult relationships (our attachment styles) and how to change the negative interactional cycle that we often find ourselves in.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
