My goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in collaboration, empathy, and trust. Committed to seeing each client as unique, I practice from a strength based and person-centered approach so you can get to your best self and experience lasting change. My clients rely on me to help make sense of the issues bringing them into therapy and also better understand how their family of origin, upbringing, and life experiences have impacted and continue to impact their mental well-being. I work with children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families who may be experiencing a number of struggles or challenges.

When looking for a couples counselor why choose between a male or female counselor? Why not have both? At Wheeler and Wheeler Counseling we work as a husband and wife duo providing both individual counseling - individually, as well as couples counseling - collaboratively. We are licensed Christian counselors who integrate faith with the daily challenges our clients face. We love collaborating with couples in marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and what we like to call prebaby counseling. As partners in both life and practice, we bring a deep understanding of the joys, struggles, and intricacies in relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the areas of depression, infertility, anxiety, relationship issues/boundaries, and grief. I am an advocate for those I work with, empowering them to find strength within themselves to become successful independently. However, I also enjoy problem solving and supporting self-determination. I am a realist, meaning that I do not expect that life will become easy or happiness will be immediately achieved, but I also feel few things are insurmountable. I work tirelessly to improve the lives of the individuals and couples who see me because this is my passion.

My goal is to provide an environment of safety, relationship, and healing.
Counseling can be incredibly helpful for a variety of life’s challenges. Are you going through a life transition? Have you recently experienced a loss? Is there trauma from your past that you are struggling to navigate? Are you struggling with sexuality, intimacy, fertility, pregnancy or postpartum? Are you struggling to connect with yourself and/or others? Are you feeling worthless, feeling like it’s impossible to love yourself? Does the concept of existing as a human feel really overwhelming right now? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this can be a wonderful indicator that counseling may be beneficial right now.

We all experience relationship conflict, overwhelming/traumatic events, and internal struggles. My therapeutic approach is focused on helping my clients to better understand themselves and how their history has impacted their present. Along this journey, I empower clients to use certain tools and resources to move forward into the vision that they want for their future. I approach experiences and beliefs from a trauma lens, utilizing EMDR to reduce distress, regulate nervous system functioning, update neural pathways, and bridge the gap between the brain and body.

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.
