Have you needed to question your
relationship
with alcohol or drug use? Perhaps you’ve tried several unsuccessful approaches already. Whether you're struggling with a recent event or an ongoing situation, solutions that have failed in the past aren’t likely to work again. I encourage a thoughtful personalized approach, before committing to an intensive intervention (that may be unnecessary). You deserve better. My approach gets you away from shame based "programming" and into creating a meaningful life. Ambulatory opiate detox and out of state or criminal justice assessment services available

The goals of
couples
therapy include reestablishing a partnership that replaces attacking and withdrawing with healthier communication skills, closeness, and intimacy.

couples
therapist, and mediator, helping individuals and
couples

I often find that therapy is effective in helping individuals and
couples
navigate past and current challenges.
Hello, If you are looking for in-person (video sessions available) sessions and would like to talk to someone today, please call or send me an email. Typically, I am able to return your call or email within a day. I hear from patients all the time, that the hardest part to finding and connecting with a clinician is getting someone to take your call or call you back. I try to make connecting one of easier parts of therapy. I provide counseling services to individuals,
couples
, and families, and adopt an approach that is engaged and collaborative. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
