I work toward helping individuals change the parts of their lives that cause emotional pain and anxiety, helping couples create more fulfilling relationships, and helping families resolve conflict.
Self doubts, fears and unpleasant realities often guide our thoughts, words and behaviors. Especially when we have been hurt before, many of us dread being vulnerable with others because it creates a possibility for pain. Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, and other important issues in silence; as a result, their emotional and relational needs go unmet. In therapy, I will work to create a safe space for you to share even the most unsettling truths. It is my joy to assist you in reaching whatever goals you have for your life.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal from past trauma that negatively impact their lives and relationships.
“Trauma creates change you DON’T choose. Healing is about creating change you DO choose.”- Michelle Rosenthal. Trauma is an experience, not an event. Every human will experience some form of trauma in their lifetime. We can’t compare one trauma to the next as it’s real to the individual experiencing it and we all deal with our experiences differently. Trauma is what happens inside of us because of what has happened to us. It takes courage and effort to move beyond the pain that has maintained control of our thoughts and behaviors.

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.
