Some of the therapy approaches I draw from are cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, art-informed techniques (for teens) and Gottman (for couples).
Maybe you feel stuck in your life journey, overwhelmed by difficult emotions, or powerless to make good choices for your future. If so, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or your relationship, I would be honored to partner with you on your journey. I have over 7 years of experience working with teens, adults and couples on a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, communication, rebuilding trust in relationships, and more.

I enjoy working with couples, kids, and individuals.
I look for solutions. Sometimes the solution is a listening ear and processing difficult emotions or experiences. I also look for very practical solutions for couples such as communication techniques, division of household/work/and parenting tasks, and the big issues in relationships...money, sex, and in-laws or ex's. With individuals suffering with depression or anxiety I take a holistic approach; mind, body and spirit. Without simple changes in our bodies such as relaxation, exercise, and sleep our mind cannot connect. When we take care of the whole person there is a synergistic effect and the results are much greater.

No matter how hard you try, you just cannot seem to move forward. This feeling is preventing you from growth, the ability to connect, and is most likely causing pain and confusion. Although these experiences are common, how we choose to deal with them is critical towards creating a meaningful and positive life. My desire is to help you discover that you are more than your problems and the roadblock that is in front of you can be moved with help.

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.
