Increased communication with couples is my favorite part of this work.
I created Upswing Counseling Services because time and time again I hear people feel that they are invalided in health care settings. I want clients to understand that they will drive services and their treatment.

I am an experienced Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with children, adolescents, adults and couples to aid them with finding balance in their lives between their mind (thoughts/beliefs), body (physical well being) and spirit (emotional well being).
As humans we all feel "out of balance" at different times throughout our lives. This can quickly get away from us and snowball into larger issues. Sometimes, life feels like something that "happens to us" and disrupts our ability to self-regulate or grow beyond our current circumstances, leaving us feeling stuck. Most of us desire to feel empowered and able to grow beyond issues that leave us feeling "less than" or "incapable of growth." I like to work with people with an integrative approach focusing on self-healing through empowered choices and balance. Working towards: "Taking back your power to create your ideal life."

I have been working with families who are in crisis ( children with behavioral issues and teens who have trouble functioning). I have extensive experience with substance abuse (heroin,pills, and alcohol) issues, that have been affecting teens/parents. I can help parents and couples, dealing with relationship problems-many times tantruming children or depressed/anxious teens are a factor. Working with the entire family, or just the individual is my specialty. I have experience working with children who have trauma history, ADHD, anxiety or depression. I am able to assist parents in deciphering the IEP/504 options, if needed.

I enjoy working with adolescents, students, adults, and couples and also specialize in pregnancy/fertility concerns, relationship issues, and sexuality.
I believe that coming to therapy when your life is not proceeding in the way you wish is a courageous and important step in building the life you want. Although it is sometimes difficult or frightening to make that first phone call, it's a strong sign of your belief in yourself and your desire to live fully and joyfully. I respect the decision to begin therapy and understand that it's sometimes a hard step that requires great courage. I firmly believe that however you're feeling now, there is a capacity for healing, change, and joy within you.

Current openings with clinicians credentialed with BCBS. The ideal client who I work with therapeutically is motivated and desires change. This client values the therapeutic relationship while also working toward success quickly. This client should be excited, even if a little bit anxious, about gaining valuable insight into themselves and their place in their life. As far as couples/marriage counseling is concerned, couples should be motivated to stay together and not simply stop off at therapy before divorce. Couples should be willing to work hard and look at themselves as individuals as well as a family.

Specializing in individual & couples counseling (e.g. those struggling with infidelity, addiction, high levels of conflict, dissatisfaction, inability to communicate or "stage of life" changes). My clients are typically professionals, first responders (fire, police, EMT, hospital staff), couples, trauma survivors, those in addiction recovery & those struggling with grief and loss. For over three decades, I have worked effectively with individuals & families of all types and persuasions. I employ both evidence-based & observation-based practices but believe a therapist's life-long experience is always the best predictor of success.

Whether it is work, school, finances, relationships, children or some other source of stress, an excellent way to get back on confident feet is to work with a skilled clinician such as myself. Therapy can help build coping skills to manage life challenges, gain skills to redirect misguided or distorted thoughts and process emotions in order to have a better understanding of personal needs and how to meet them.

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.
