Individual/couples counseling.
Are you stuck? In a relationship? With an addiction? In a job? If yes, read on. Mindfulness. Intention. Contemplation. Higher Power. Detachment. Co-dependency. What do these mean? What role do they play in helping people with "problems in living"? I think they are essential practices, together with psychotherapy, which can produce transformative thinking and behavior e.g., they can help people get "unstuck" from their dilemma. If interested in exploring these ways of "knowing", please contact me.

I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a satisfying and productive life, and that it's never too late to start. We all also have the capacity to get "stuck" in unproductive situations or relationships. The key ingredients for a successful outcome in therapy are the individual's, couple's, or family's readiness for change, and the safe, supportive, collaborative relationship we develop. My deepest interest lies in helping clients recognize their own needs, goals, strengths, under-utilized talents, and decision-making capacity. With the clarity they obtain, I can help them take some necessary steps to improve their lives.

I have been practicing for over 30 years working with individuals, couples and families.
My goal is to help people feel and function better in love, work, play and inner peace. Life is often challenging and stressful. Sometimes we feel lost. Most of us engage in self-defeating beliefs, patterns and behaviors which leads to unhappiness and life dissatisfaction. The goal of therapy is to change these negative ways of feeling and being. When I have asked clients what has been most helpful in therapy, the most common response is " You helped me see things from a new perspective, which ultimately led to positive changes in how I think, feel, behave and relate to others".

I use a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic theories to uncover unproductive relationship patterns and develop healthy strategies to change behaviors.
I offer psychotherapy and addiction counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I work with clients from a relational perspective to break old patterns of thinking and behavior that are often ingrained and have become habitual and unfulfilling. These faulty ways of thinking and behaving often result in non productive and sometimes destructive relationships, with ourselves and our partners, as well as the way we see ourselves in the world . I work with my clients to create a new narrative for themselves and to move forward in their lives with integrity and dignity.

There's no such thing as "doing it all! I've also trained in various modalities for healing trauma, whether it stems from grief, abuse, or relationship issues.
We all experience bumps in the road during life, such as traumas, divorce, family issues, or loss of loved ones. Receiving support and understanding from an outside perspective can give you clarity of how these events shape us and our relationships. I firmly believe that having a collaborative partnership with an empathetic counselor is crucial in this process - one who truly sees and values you. Together, we can map out a better picture of how your life events affected paths made along the way and use these insights to improve your relationships and develop your goals into realities.

I am deeply curious about people, and love helping them discover unexplored parts of themselves. Seemingly simple questions like "What do I want from life and how do I go about getting it?" become less straightforward when we realize that the answers we've previously given are not sufficient. A more satisfying relationship with the world and with ourselves is possible, and I hope to help in making progress towards that goal.

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.
