There are challenges at every stage of life. From early childhood on, we encounter problems at school, work and in all relationships that interfere with the pursuit of pleasure, happiness and inner peace. Despite our best efforts there are times when it helps to have a kind and objective ear to help us clarify our issues and move us towards better outcomes. I work with parents/toddlers, children of all ages, teens, adults and couples. I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive post-master's training and have over 35-years experience. I am fluent in Spanish; ofrezco citas. I strive to create a safe, warm, welcoming space.

As a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Adoption Counselor, I can come along side to help you in a number of areas: formal and informal (kinship) adoption, parent stress management, transracial and bicultural adoptions, romantic relationship conflicts, parent-child attachment, and complex trauma.
Families, and the relationships that hold them together, are a part of all of us. Regardless of their beginning or circumstance, they shape us in a multitude of ways. Oftentimes, they can be the source of the happiest and most painful moments in our lives. And, learning how to navigate your way through those relationships, as they change and grow throughout your life, can be hard at times and can make you feel "stuck". That's where I come in.

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.
