Waitlist for new clients
Sometimes we find ourselves lost or stuck and feeling unable to move forward. It's in these times where we need support, someone to help us find our way. It is OK to reach out and so important to take care of ourselves. It might seem difficult to do but everyone at some time needs help. Reaching out is an act of courage and can be the start to finding yourself and moving forward once again. Committing to therapy can be the first step and I would be honored to support you on this journey.

People find themselves searching for therapy options for a number of reasons. They may be seeking assistance to manage day-to-day stressors, coping with a major life shift, even just trying to figure out if it's possible to retire 'survival mode' and begin to thrive. Any of that sound familiar? The people who find me often have a wide variety of issues including unresolved pain/trauma, mental illness, work-life harmony, 'adulting' transitions, adjusting to (health) limitations, and professional/systemic difficulties. Many want to know if it's possible to navigate life in a way that doesn't feel like a chore or worse torturous.

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.
