I work with a variety of clients, including adults and couples.
Welcome to my page. It is so important to find a therapist you feel is a good fit for you! As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, relationships are my bread and butter. I work with individual adults and couples to identify what is and isn't working in relationships, so you can practice setting boundaries, communicating needs, and living in accordance with your values. Looking at our environment helps us identify what we can control to reduce anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. I am trained in EMDR, ACT, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

This can include, but is not limited to, adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, neurodevelopmental disorders (including ADHD, learning disabilities), test anxiety, clarifying purpose and understanding life goals, etc.
For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in how people compensate for their weaknesses. I am fascinated with our ability to learn and to grow from our present circumstances and succeed when statistically we should be "slowed down." I have had the opportunity to help people realize this potential, or have observed their potential in action. This has led to a continual motivation to not only understand myself more, but also a passion for helping others pursue their values despite what life may throw their way. With that in mind, I look forward to helping with difficulties that one might be facing as they journey.

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.
