I believe most couples or individuals have tried everything they know how to do to solve their problems before seeking counseling. I also believe that only the healthy part of a person comes for counseling. That's the part that wants to learn and grow as an individual and also become more intimate as a couple. My practice is based on solution-focused conversations and learning the art of REAL communication.

Have you been struggling to make the progress you have been wanting? Are you dealing with barriers that seem to keep coming up? Perhaps it is time to stop facing these challenges alone. I see the therapeutic relationship as one that should grow and develop along healthy lines, where effort and intentionality are important and mistakes are learning opportunities to work on those life areas that are so often neglected, covered up or avoided all together. Maybe then some of those issues don't have to be so daunting.

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.
