We would like to be a part of this process, the process of success and happiness, the process of rising from our aches like a Phoenix rises from its ashes.

The primary goal of my work is to help individuals and couples talk openly about the difficult, sometimes painful, things in their lives that matter in order to find a sense of purpose in rebuilding hope, meaning, and emotional connection in their relationships and in their lives.
In his "Sermon on Courage" a great historical figure once said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter" (King, 1963). Deciding to seek out therapy may be one of the most difficult choices a person makes in a lifetime. It is an act of courage, and those individuals seeking help with their lives when they feel most vulnerable deserve respect and admiration. My goal is to provide you with warmth, attunement, empathy, and years of professional experience as we talk about the things in your life that really matter. Together we work and collaborate in a deeply genuine, person-to-person connection.

I believe in the therapeutic relationship as central to the treatment process, as well as the value of evidence-based practice grounded in a well-researched understanding of trauma on human development and functioning.
As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who have been impacted by complex trauma. We are shaped most profoundly by our earliest and closest relationships, and when those relationships have been fraught with chronic adversity – either due to neglect and abuse, or due to unintentional or unavoidable life adversity – we tend to struggle emotionally, behaviorally, and interpersonally with the impact of early life trauma exposure. Treatment is most effective when one is able to find a safe space to identify the root of those struggles.

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.
