Working with individual adults and couples in an integrative, supportive and collaborative way, I help clients gain appreciation for their strengths and an enhanced sense of self. Using a warm, interactive style based on mutual respect, the client and I identify and modify patterns that may be blocks to achieving the cllient's greatest potential. We consider early life experiences that may be contributing to the current concerns. With 25 years experience in a variety of treatment settings including hospital, EAP and private practice, I offer a safe environment for exploring and working toward goals that will lead to a fuller and more satisfying life.

Treatment specialties include: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBTQ, sexuality/identity questions, anger management, grief/loss, post-traumatic stress, and adjustment/readjustment difficulties.
Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we get "stuck" and need help navigating our way through tough obstacles. Therapy helps people identify, evaluate and solve problems effectively. We will work together to set goals, examine difficulties and find realistic solutions that provide relief and clarity. I utilize a warm interactive approach to treatment and incorporate empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor to create a comfortable environment. Because the way we think impacts the way we feel, individuals are taught skills to identify, challenge and modify negative thinking. In my work with couples, I provide strategies to improve communication, manage conflict and solidify trust.

I view myself as a partner on your healing journey and bring warmth, compassion, humor and candor to every session.
Our mental health doesn't exist in a bubble: we are all deeply impacted by our increasingly turbulent world of systemic injustice, political instability and climate change. This turbulence is exacerbated if we're also struggling with depression, anxiety, developmental trauma, substance use, relationship challenges or life transitions. My approach to therapy meets at the intersection of your inner and outer worlds. Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, we will work together to understand the root causes of your symptoms so that we can co-create an actionable path towards healing and a living a more meaningful day-to-day life.

I work with individuals and couples.
Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Someone who knows how to ask the right questions and really listen to your answers. I think counseling should be like talking to a really good friend, one who has knowledge of you and the connections which may be at work in your life, and who has permission to confront you and ask you hard questions. I am candid and direct with my clients, pointing out things that need to be looked at, and then helping them process and live out new insights. Integrating faith and values is important to me.

I have been a counselor for nearly forty years and have worked with variety of people and their problems. I specialize in family and couples counseling and theory, which works with both families and individuals. The two most common issues I see currently are depression and anxiety/panic. The first session, the assessment, is where I gain an understanding of the reason the person is seeking counseling and collect a history of the situation. In either the first or second session, I develop a treatment plan, in collaboration with the client. From there forward, we work on the goals set.

I also offer consultations with couples and families around divorce/separation or parenting issues and addictions.
Looking for help is never easy. Especially in these stressful times and if you may well be meeting a new therapist on line rather than in person. Still, life problems can reach a crisis point when one knows they need to reach out for help. Whether or not you have been in therapy before, with the right help you can make real, positive changes in your feelings, your behavior and your relationships, bringing more satisfaction and joy into your life.

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.
