I am a relational psychotherapist/analyst with nearly twenty years of experience who works with individuals and couples from adolescence to adults.
Have you ever felt like your life is unraveling, the rug is being pulled from beneath you and you are coming undone? What felt safe, now feels dangerous, what was clear is now confusing. Are you struggling in relationship? Finding it difficult to grow up and own your independence? You may be feeling overwhelming anxiety, sadness, shame, fear and/or anger.

Have you contemplated cheating or divorce to solve the loneliness and regret? I can help! I enjoy sitting with couples as they sort through the tough stuff.
Why do we keep arguing about the same things over and over again? I've tried to forgive you but I can't stop thinking that I would be happier with someone else. I don't know if it's worth the fight anymore. We've grown apart and I don't remember the last time we've experienced real connection, maybe you've never even loved me. I'm insecure and doubtful that things will change. Everyone says I deserve better. I'm not sure where we are anymore and I need support getting back to love. I just need a safe space without judgement to be vulnerable and say the things that I'm really feeling. Have you found yourself asking these questions?

Whether working with adolescents, adults, or couples, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment in which my patients can examine the challenges that have emerged in their lives, explore barriers to meaningful change, and work toward improving their quality of life.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, and adjustment challenges. I utilize an integrative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions informed by Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Attachment, and Relational modalities. My work with couples draws from Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy models. I take particular interest in understanding all aspects of my patients’ identities through their lens in order to facilitate increased insight and promote a robust sense of self-efficacy.

Take the time to be in relationship with self and know that all else will follow.
We are often engaging in life through the means that we have been taught by all of those who have come before us. Life has become a perpetual cycle where bliss, peace, harmony, and all of the other facets that make life worth living seem to escape us more and more. Instead, we are trapped in depression, anxiety, distrust, judgment and more often than not our physical temples are suffering. Collectively, a shift in perception is needed. This starts with the individual.

Having practiced for over 15 years in a variety of mainly institutional settings to support those having difficulty dealing with a wide variety of behavioral and emotional issues, I have developed tremendous insight and skills to help people overcome or deal with even the most traumatic of experiences. Now through multi-disciplinary private practice, I can bring my extensive knowledge and insight to children, adults, families and couples in the community who struggle with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, family discord, anger, and many other challenges and work closely with my colleagues if medication may be needed.

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.
