As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am trained to think systemically and work with individuals, couples and families. My expertise, however, is working with couples and parents. Over the years, I have helped many couples overcome their relationship issues, including: communication issues, infidelity, sexual issues, etc. I have also worked with many families, helping parents overcome issues with their children, both young children and adults. I have also extensively explored issues related to working with couples where one partner is experiencing chronic pain.

Unlike what many think, this does not mean I only work with couples and families.
My ideal client would be willing to work with me systemically, meaning someone willing to look beyond themselves and think, “Why is this happening?” instead of just thinking they are the problem. For example, if someone is coming in to work on depression and anxiety, my ideal client would be willing to explore the underlying issues contributing to the depression and anxiety instead of someone who is only looking for coping skills and such.

We work with depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, eating disorders, bereavement, BPD, autism, ADHD, addiction, sexual abuse, DV, medical illnesses, relationship problems, LGTBQ+, adjustment disorders and forensic cases.
Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I have over a decade of experience working with adults, couples, and adolescents.
I understand that powerful life events and subtle life experiences shape the direction of life. Therapy offers an avenue to understand what is happening and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. Especially, when we are left with feelings of frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness. In other words, we become “unhappy.”

Despite feeling accomplished in their careers, my clients usually experience difficulty asking for help, perfectionism, inability to connect emotionally with loved ones, uncertainty around drinking patterns, irritability, and guilt. I assist men, adult children of alcoholics, couples, and families to develop ways to improve communication, build connection and work through difficult issues in life. If this resonates with you, I can help.

I am not afraid to think outside the box, and I value collaboration, openness, and honesty in the counseling relationship.
My ideal client is someone who is serious about their treatment and puts in the effort. Counseling needs consistency, one of the main factors that lead to success. I have a lot of experience with clients struggling with cognitive distortions that result from several disorders. I have also helped clients with their goals when they want to change their cognition. I also work well with clients who view the counselor not as a magician and how the clients would view the counselor as a guide in their healing process.

My expertise lies in assisting adults and couples who are dealing with relational trauma.
The healing journey is always the most challenging, particularly when it involves recovering from trauma. Relational trauma often stems from being betrayed, rejected, or experiencing a hurtful relationship with caregivers during upbringing. This can trigger challenges in current relationships and impact self-esteem. These memories and painful experiences can create unpleasant feelings such as guilt and shame. They can form barriers to cultivating healthy relationships with our partners, widening the gap between us.

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.
