You deserve a therapist, who will actively listen, get to know you and build a solid therapeutic relationship with you.
What would your life look like if you felt more energized and capable to do the things you want and live the way you want? It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the "stuff" that gets thrown at you that can cause anxiety or depression. Including things like big life transitions, adjusting to a new relationship, divorce or a mental/physical health diagnosis. Issues from the past such as trauma, can also leave you feeling stuck in high emotional reactivity and people pleasing. You have difficulty holding boundaries and taking better care of yourself. Your ideal life begins with you choosing to change the things that you can.

I am a registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern with experience treating couples, families, and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma, spiritual abuse, pregnancy, postpartum, life transitions, relationships, and behavioral concerns. I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. As a mother of three and a child of teen pregnancy, my personal and professional experiences have given me a deep understanding of different backgrounds and challenges. I know firsthand what it feels like to come from nothing and, at times, to feel like nothing.

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.
