My special interest is working with couples.
My role as a therapist, is to provide a safe, sacred place, allowing the pain and suffering to come forth and be processed in a collaborative respectful manner. I use my skills in depth therapy to help make the unconscious conscious leading to transformation of painful symptoms into new life meaning. I have 20 years of experience working in a social work department within a hospital setting. This taught me; people need to tell their story and be heard. In a world of technology and lack of human connection I offer the lost art of listening.

Relationships are essential to our lives, but at times it can be difficult and painful in relationships. Whether I work with you individually or in a couples/family setting, the goal of therapy is to improve the joy you have in your relationships. Seeking help can be overwhelming, but it is most effective when you are ready and willing to work towards the future you want for yourself.

Mostly, I build a relationship with you so that you can be heard.
I think that asking for support is pretty courageous and maybe even a little scary. Trusting that someone can be objective and supportive is hard for anyone, but this can be especially hard when something about your life experiences has made it difficult to trust (even) yourself. Maybe you struggle with making decisions. Maybe past or present trauma has left you feeling depressed or anxious or both. Or maybe you don’t know why you feel the way you feel or what causes you to do the things you do. I understand, from a very deep and personal way, what it’s like to feel like you are not the best version of yourself.

I also provide support to couples and adult individual's needing support with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
Family and relationships are an integral part of an individual's ability to be happy, and healthy. I believe that all individuals can benefit from the unique relationship that is built between the therapist and client. Individual's who have difficulty with mental health problems are particularly appropriate for treatment. I have more than 11 years experience working with children with severe behavioral and attachment difficulties, and the family's/friends who love them. The parent/ partner relationship is a particularly special relationship that requires support, attention, and caring reflection. I am calm and supportive.

I believe you can have a life of purpose, passion, and growth. I imagine every individual or couple has the ability to get curious, change patterns, and recover from even the most difficult life circumstances. Although the thought of therapy can be scary at times, reaching out to a compassionate professional can be the first step in learning new ways to manage past hurts or embrace new life transitions. I view my role as your teammate; helping you to achieve your goals and jointly discovering a healthy path forward. Your life is your own and I am committed to helping you realize a vision for your future that is uniquely yours.

I have specialized training in Early Childhood Mental Health, Relationship-Based, Attachment-Focused, and Trauma-Focused CBT.
Are you ready to begin therapy? There comes a pivotal point in our lives we begin to start questioning our decisions and thoughts, the interactions we have in our intimate/platonic relationships, and/or why we feel "stuck". It often leads us to have difficulty regulating our daily thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The experience of hardships and emotional pain follow us like our own shadow contributing to the way we think, feel, and behave. I firmly believe early childhood experiences, complex and secondary trauma, daily stressors/challenges, and life adjustments shape who we are as individuals and how we relate to others.

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.
