I have experience working with individuals, couples and families struggling with childhood trauma, family/relationship conflict, boundaries, communication issues, grief and life transitions.
What’s stopping you from being free? Yes, I know, everything happens for a reason but how you grow from that anxiety, that depression, or family conflict you have and are experiencing is completely up to you. Now is the time to move from just existing to truly living. Sometimes in life, because of hardships that we face or people that we are connected to, we lose focus on being the best version of ourselves, but through therapy we can explore that process. I would love to be a part of your journey to total healing.

I love working with the non-conformists, artists, dreamers, and beautiful weirdos of the world! You might be in a non-traditional relationship (queer, poly, kinky) and wanting to find a therapist who fully accepts your identity - that's me! You might be unlearning the messages of diet culture - that's me, too! We may be a good fit if you've ever asked yourself: How can I be stronger, more confident, and more of a badass? Why the hell can't my family accept me as I am? How can I break my pattern of getting into toxic relationships? How can I build trust and love with my own body?

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.
