I work with individuals and couples seeking therapy for issues including relationships, depression, anxiety, sexuality, aging, and life transitions.
Psychotherapy is about listening. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and depth to help my clients hear their own voices of change and healing. How I understand psychotherapy to work is best expressed by Simone Weil: "Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention. The capacity to give one's attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle." I surely cannot do miracles! But together with my clients I have watched miracles happen.

As a sex positive, gender and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist I enjoy working with both individuals and couples facing a multitude of different life challenges.

Empowering them in a genuine, straightforward, and relaxed atmosphere to step into the brave space where they are able to find their truth, speak it, and live it. My integrative approach is tailored to each client. During this process the client learns how to accept where they are in this moment. Then identifying and making changes to get to where they want to be. This allows them to free themselves from the persistent negative thoughts and societal pressures holding them back from living the life they have always wanted.

My experience working with adults includes working with depression and anxiety, existential/mid-life crises, relationship issues and infidelity, life-transitions, parenting challenges, traumatic memories, overcoming shame, family of origin and attachment issues, anger issues, and more.
Through our dialogue, I work to bring to consciousness the fears, conflicts and inhibitions that prevent you from living a fully realized life. In this way, I hope to help you draw on your own inner wisdom in order to create positive change. The following quotation by Rainer Maria Rilke resonates with my perspective on change: "Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

You may find attending therapy to be difficult or scary. I deeply admire the courage it takes to seek therapy and begin the journey of self-exploration and healing. It is not always easy to show up for ourselves, especially when we are facing difficult emotions or life circumstances. However, it is in these moments of vulnerability that the greatest opportunities for growth and healing arise. My hope is that my clients feel supported and encouraged to continue showing up for themselves, even when it may be challenging, and that together we can work towards creating lasting positive change in their lives.

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.
