Choosing a therapist who makes therapy a safe space is important. I'm a lesbian-identified provider who has over 12 years experience working with the LGBTQIA + population. My ideal client is age ages 11+, with presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, challenges related to gender identity and sexuality, mixed neurotypes in partnerships, and ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. I am actively anti-racist and continue to seek out trainings to recognize my own biases and blind spots.

At times we may feel that there’s no one that can understand us or fear not looking like the “strong” friend. We struggle to talk about our emotions and often wear masks out of the belief that nothing will change. Do you struggle to take up space in conversations or in a room due to lack of confidence? Or constant feelings of inadequacy due to struggles in managing high expectations placed upon you? Are you a person that struggles to show your body love and compassion? Have you had a history of disordered eating and want to work towards unsubscribing from diet culture and embrace the skin you’re in?

All of us live with stress and unexpected situations. It's part of being human. If all of these things have become too much, if you've found yourself thinking, "No one can help me through this", "I want to go to therapy but...", or "I'm broken", I'm glad to help you show yourself that these thoughts aren't the truth or a definition of who you are. You may be an adult struggling with sudden life or career changes, newly concerned about what the future holds during the pandemic, a parent looking for extra emotional support for you and your children, or simply someone who wants to be heard. I'm here to do so.

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.
