Healthy relationships are my goal and my mission. I'm especially passionate about working with couples , both premarital and marital. I achieve this best through a program called "Ultimate Integrity." Most of my couples say that a lack of integrity is a major problem in their relationships and this (UI) program can be very helpful to heal the wounds of lies and deceit and replace with truth and love. Many couples also struggle with stress, depression, anxiety, and addictions. I'm very proactive to identify effective strategies and coping skills to resolve these concerns.

Safety and trust are the 2 most important aspects of a great therapeutic relationship .
In today's world, our mental health is being challenged more than ever. Change is occurring all all around us and sometimes we just don't know how to make sense of it all. Unresolved issues from the past can create painful roadblocks in our present day lives, and the fear of that pain keeps us from resolving those issues. It is more important now than ever to pay attention to your state of mind.. The quality of your life depends on it!

I also work with individuals and couples to understand how past experiences and relationships can shape how they see themselves and relate to others so that they can more successfully establish and maintain fulfilling relationships.
I strongly believe that relationships have the power to heal and transform, and this guides my approach as a therapist.

Working collaboratively, we will engage in meaningful exploration of the issues impacting your well-being in order to achieve the change you want. I see my role as empowering you with new insight and skills and stronger connections to yourself and others so that you can live well and be resilient in responding to the challenges of life.

FOR DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, RELATIONSHIPS, ADDICTION, TRAUMA: I blend psychology and spirituality to treat uncomfortable emotions, relationship issues, feelings of isolation, the monkey mind of the ego, as well as heavy, stuck energy that needs releasing. Psychodynamic therapy, guided meditation, and shamanic modes of healing can help shift the way you think and feel. As Einstein put it: "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Using an integrative approach we will connect with your higher self and beyond to experience real transformation and change of consciousness.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in working with ethnic minorities, survivors of trauma (specifically survivors of interpersonal trauma), and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I approach therapy from a multicultural, feminist, strength-based, and relational perspective. I will see you as a whole person with multiple (sometimes incompatible) identities. I aim to empower you to use your voice. Just like being in any other relationship , the therapist-client match is very important. Together, we will work together to address the issues you are coming in with by learning more about yourself and how you interact with others.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be used to develop insight into patterns of interaction and connection to self and others. If clients are so inclined, I am happy to use spiritual tools such as astrology and divination tools to dive deep into the psyche. My hope is that I can assist and guide clients to develop internal trust and to live a joyful and autonomous life. I strongly feel that a non-judgmental and authentic stance can help support clients to feel more relaxed and present in their lives and help clients listen to their intuition to make life choices which are aligned with their values.

If you are struggling with life's challanges and are seeking tools to better cope with or overcome those challanges I want to help you. The foundation of my work is the collaborative and proven effective tools of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Exploring and understanding our core beliefs and the relationship between thoughts and feelings gives us the tools to make effective change. Making a commitment to changing behaviors helps us sort out what we actually have control over and frees us from expecting others to change in order for us to be happy.

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.
