If you are struggling with change or a life transition, I am here to help. Change can be disruptive, stressful, and demanding. It interrupts our accustomed way of life and compels us to adjust to new, stressful, unfamiliar experiences. The uncertainty of change can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and distressed. My expertise and passion are in helping clients manage stress and anxiety triggered by life changes and transitions. I assist adolescents, young adults, couples, and families in developing coping strategies and skills to manage difficult life transitions.

That’s why I approach each client and couple with the understanding that it is through shared curiosity that we can foster true change wether it is couples work or working with expectant and post-partum mommas or individuals.
Relationships are dynamic, and navigating the shifts is how we grow. Wether you’re navigating a marriage and looking for lasting change or curious about how you can explore your own past to build a fulfilling life, I believe you’ll find our work can serve as a catalyst in this journey. As a first generation immigrant and bilingual therapist, I have had to dig into the concept of self and identity as a person with complex parts that often feel opposing and it is the understanding of those parts that can reveal to us how to heal and grow in relationships.

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.
