We offer a variety of services to help you and your family, including the following: Family Counseling/ Couples or Marriage Counseling Step/Blended Family Counseling Parenting through Divorce and/or Separation Individual Therapy.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals, families and teens (ages 13 and up), with a specialty in working with Couples. I have 15 years of experience in the counseling field. I use a growth-oriented approach in helping my clients create positive life changes. These changes will inevitably enhance and build on their existing strengths, insights, and skills while they cultivate new ones. I truly believe that most people instinctively know what is best for them and their situation. However, we sometimes do not follow our instincts for a variety of reasons including situational circumstances, unhealthy relationships, and low self-esteem.

You love helping others but you often wonder "who is there for me?" Perhaps life changes have caught you unprepared and you are not equipped to handle this new reality. You struggle to balance your career, money, relationships, parenting, and health. You look in the mirror and wonder where did YOU go. This feeling disconnected can negatively impact you and your marriage or relationship. If this is you....we should talk.

I am not what you probably think of when you imagine a therapist. I will be dressed casually. I'm not going to jot a bunch of notes while we talk, or ask you to lay on the couch (but the couch is available for laying, if you want). I'm probably going to try to make you laugh. We're going to get some work done in session, but it's not going to be as formal or awkward as you might expect from how working with a shrink is usually portrayed in movies and TV.

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.
