If you are feeling unsure, that is okay! I invite you to reach out to see if we might be a good fit, as the client-therapist relationship is key in therapy.
Anxiety, fear, and shame can make us feel trapped. Maybe you feel overwhelmed from striving to be perfect or pleasing people and wish you could just be. Or you feel weighed down by burdens you've kept inside for so long that you need a safe space to share and be heard. Whatever you are going through, I want you to know that you are not alone and there is hope. Having been through my own healing journey, I focus on creating a safe empathic space to help clients feel understood as they are, so healing can happen. My hope is that you would leave each session feeling encouraged and better equipped to embrace whatever emerges next.

You can have the satisfying and rewarding relationship.
Feeling tired from constant arguing with your partner? You want to get closer to him/her but you can't move past the anger/hurt/pain that he/she has caused you? And all you want is for him/her to validate you and to tell you that he/she cares. While ignoring it may work for a little while, but over time unresolved relationship issues can affect other areas of your life, including physical health, sleep, mood, work and other relationships. I can help you to get unstuck, work through your emotional wounds, communicate what you want from your partner in a helpful way, and have the connection that you've always wanted.

I'd like to help you feel better, and what I can do involves more than listening and giving advice. Psychotherapy isn't entered into lightly, and it's important to consider whether change is what you want. It isn't for everybody, and sometimes, change depends on the season of your life. However, if you are experiencing a need to change something that has become a problem, such as sadness, anxiety, or relationship distress, or a habit such as procrastination or an addictive behavior, you might be ready to explore psychotherapy to find a solution.

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.
