I provide therapeutic care for individuals, couples, children, and families who are struggling to navigate life’s challenges, as well as those who are navigating intense emotional highs and lows related to trauma.
Life's disappointments can leave us feeling shaken, shattered, or even destroyed, causing us to question our purpose or if we will ever feel whole again. If you have found yourself in this place, rest assured you are not alone. However, the pain that has defined your life for a season does not have to define your future. If you are ready to process the painful events of the past, address challenging events in the present, and step into a brighter future you are in the right place.

If you, your relationship, or your entire family needs a space to feel supported and heard, I share this in a manner that will hopefully allow for peace.
You have been struggling for a while now. “Oh if we can get through this week/month/season, things will get better”, you think. But if nothing improves, it may be time to book a session to organize your thoughts. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy seeing couples and families as a system, with each person moving both independently and together to form cohesion. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I can also help you individually find the coping skills and tools to allow your autonomous self to achieve the optimal health and wellness you want and deserve.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. There is no question that we continue to live in challenging times. Truly, life was hard enough before COVID with managing work, family, and other demands but things have drastically changed. So it's not surprising that fear, worry, and maybe even depression have crept in. During times like these connection matters most. Perhaps you live alone, maybe a significant relationship has changed, or you're just anxious about what's ahead. Whatever the reason, you don't have to go it alone. Reach out, I would like to help.

I look forward to working with you, your spouse and your family in an environment that is free of judgement and filled with grace.
As we travel the roads of life, it is common for us to encounter a variety of challenges along the way. These challenges surface in our marriages, with our relatives, our children, in our careers and even in our spiritual relationships. Most of the time we are able to overcome these challenges on our own, but sometimes we need a little help to get us back on track. Whether it's an unfaithful spouse, a difficult teen, family drama, or difficulty accomplishing personal goals, therapy can help you make the changes you desire.

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.
