I work with individuals and couples to help them work through these myriads of difficulties that life throws at them.
When life comes at us, we may experience depression, anxiety, or struggle with the difficult changes, and we may need help to feel better equipped to manage these experiences. Sometimes people are questioning their own identity and how it fits in the world. Sometimes people try to manage relationships without the most effective approach and are looking for something different. We all experience difficulties in relationships at times and sometimes extra help with navigating the difficulties within relationships can make things easier.

My specialty areas gear towards children ages (4 and up), adolescents, women, men, couples, and families.
My approach to counseling is to use existentialism to assist the client in reaching their journey with the accountability and acceptance that they are unique and powerful. By using a collaboration of tools, the individual and myself are able to discover a pathway that requires hard work, but freedom in knowing that each step is celebrated. I value my client's journey as it is what has created their character, it is my desire to assist them to live life with purpose using their journey to succeed.

With couples, I help each of you recognize the positive place you are coming from through communication and connection.
When life gets stagnant, and you feel your are just repeating the same patterns that haven't gotten you very far, therapy is a place you can gain clarity. You want to show up better in your relationship, quiet the voices inside that are telling you "I'm not good enough" and blocking you from the life you know you can have. Therapy isn't only for when everything feels so overwhelming it's hard to even move. Therapy is also for when you know you can be stronger, calmer, more at peace.

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.
