relationship
with my clients, focusing on working together to explore what brings them to therapy and to develop a plan to address these issues that fits their needs.

Do you experience symptoms related to anxiety, stress, worry, low self-worth, and depression? Do you frequently engage in unhelpful (negative) thinking? When engaging in chronic negative thinking patterns, called cognitive distortions, the way you see yourself, others, and the world become severely affected. We often filter our lives through this lens unconsciously. With the primary use of cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) strategies, I can guide you to redirect your unhelpful thoughts and manage your emotions for the purpose of empowering you to choose healthy behaviors.

Perhaps you are overwhelmed by anxiety and do not know how to feel right, how to motivate yourself, or how to work more effectively in life. You may think that no one understands you, doesn't listen to you, or doesn't care about you. Or maybe you're struggling with your relationships with your family or children and aren't sure what to do. Your past traumas may be negatively affecting your life and you are unsure how to identify and deal with them. We all find ourselves in difficult places sometimes and need a little help.

Clients often come to me for help with a broad range of concerns, like: trauma, anxiety, depression, pain, existential malaise, creative blocks, infertility challenges, grief, & family/

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.
