I bring more than 25 years of clinical experiences to the therapeutic relationship.
Rarely are any of us able to escape experiencing trauma, devastation from addiction, profound grief, shattered dreams or a deeper desire to explore options. My clients are a cross-section of people whose journey has hit a snag on some important level and realize the value of talking things out. I welcome adults, adolescents, couples, individuals and families. Integrating a number of modalities, I offer the opportunity to safely explore and identify those issues interfering with happiness. This approach gives consideration to an individual's spirituality, community, culture, ethnicity and gender.

Are you feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, stressed, confused, unaccepted, sad, and/or unaccomplished? Has life become unmanageable? Uncertain about your life direction or purpose? I help clients develop coping skills to manage the relationship instabilities, focusing limitations, intrusive thoughts, emotional/physical pain, sleep difficulties, lack of progress/motivation, and other concerns due to symptoms of anxiety and depression. It isn’t happiness per se that promotes well being, it’s the actual pursuit of that happiness that is the key to overall wellness.

I believe that a supportive and caring therapeutic relationship can offer great benefits toward living a more fulfilling and abundant life. The world seems to be moving at an ever-rapid pace, often leaving us little time to step into the slower rhythms which promote reflection. Therapy supports the slowing process, allowing for the thoughtful and intuitive contemplation of ourselves and our personal life challenges while offering creative and generative avenues for navigating them. Together we will explore such areas with openness and compassion and through the lens of wholeness and healing.

I also see couples who are feeling disconnected and lonely within their relationships or feel like they are speaking different languages.
Adulting is tough, no doubt about it. We are faced with many challenges that we don't feel equipped to handle. Often times we feel isolated and lonely in our lives and find relationships to be a challenge. Sometimes we need to know we aren't the only ones who feel scared and inadequate. We need tools to help us work through the thoughts that can keep us stuck and unhappy. Finding a way to tolerate the distress and discomfort we struggle with can set us free in a lot of ways. You don't have to suffer in silence or figure it all out on your own and it's okay to ask for and accept help. Let's do it together.

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.
