I enjoy working with couples and families to promote empathy and reconstructing thought processes when unpacking relational and environmental stressors.
Com’on let’s be honest .... relationships can be stressful! Some of us might decide to suffer in silence, share details with people who don't support us in healthy ways, or even force ourselves to "accommodate" our partner's needs without being poured into. Growth takes longer to produce when we continue with the same attitudes, beliefs, and tactics. Ready to try something new?...

You're a giver - but don't know how to receive. And you're very self-sufficient and independent because you can't trust or rely on anyone. On the surface you seem like you're doing well - you have a job, a relationship, you go on trips and so on. But underneath it all, you struggle with an inner critic that belittle you constantly. You struggle with the pressure to be "perfect" and "good" and never feel like you're good enough. Your relationships actually don't feel very fulfilling because you don't feel like you're being your true self in it. At the end of the day, you feel lonely and you chalk it up to "well this is how life is."

I am so glad that our paths have crossed. Seeking help takes courage and we all need it from time to time. I view counseling as a relatively short term investment that yields a lifetime of value. In my personal and professional experience I have found that it usually takes a third party to help identify and challenge problematic patterns that keep us hurting and stuck. In this way, counseling helps you to develop new ways of thinking about and responding to life's inevitable challenges. Please feel free to browse www.threestonescounseling.com to find out more.

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.
