Many mental health issues are related to relationship problems.
Most folks seek professional help in a time of crisis. My initial goal is to help to manage your overwhelming feelings regarding the situation you find yourself in. In many cases, helping you to recognize you may already have the skills to cope and showing you how to access those skills may be enough. Other times, after the crisis has subsided, you may become aware of recurrent patterns resulting in upsetting feelings. I am available to work with those looking for short term interventions, as well as those who want to address problems they have struggled with most of there lives.

Ultimately, therapy is a collaborative process that can only be effective when therapist and client have a strong working relationship based in trust and mutual respect for one another.
As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a safe and calm environment to examine beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that tend to get in the way of the life we want to live. I have experience working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, anger issues, trauma, psychosis, addiction, and relational issues.

My specialties include couples therapy, family conflict, issues related to child custody, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and children with special needs.
In my experience, I find that people seek out therapy to discover ways to cope with, regulate and resolve difficult emotional states and to improve interpersonal relationships. The conflict that is both within ourselves and in our interactions with others, is a part of life that can be highly distressing but can also open up opportunities for positive growth and change. Our lives are full of rich and complex experiences and sometimes we move through them so quickly that we do not have the time to understand or to appreciate the deeper meaning and insight that they can bring.

I'm also experienced working with couples in premarital and marital counseling.
With more than 15 years of counseling experience, I have seen the toughest trials and the greatest triumphs. I’ve seen hopelessness change to confidence, fear turn to peace, and sadness into joy. And, while therapy isn’t always easy, the results are worth the effort. I personally utilize CBT treatments for anxiety and/or depressive-based disorders and Motivational Interviewing for addiction related struggles. Lastly, I consider spiritual health, physical health, and emotional health to all be equally important to one’s psychological well-being.

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.
