I am also a couples therapist that uses The Gottman Method (Level One).
My speciality is in queer-identity work. The Queer Experience often comes with some growing pains, and subsequent wounds. Most of my clients are people who first healed these wounds through overachievement & overcompensation, but overlooked the limitations that came with these coping mechanisms. Let's break the patterns and confront the void. You deserve peace.

I have experience working with individuals with mental health concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, multicultural issues, women's issues, and trauma.
We all face challenges in our lives and the way that we make sense of those challenges is unique to each person. Although none of us are exempt from challenges, I have found that there are often choices regarding how we can cope with difficulties in our lives. Therapy provides an opportunity for growth, learning new coping skills, managing emotions in a healthy manner, and more importantly, for you to be heard as an individual.

One simple way to describe life is that it can be incredibly hard. Even in the best, most beautiful moments and more often in the darkest of times, it can be complicated, difficult, and challenging to navigate. At each chapter in our lives we are faced with new experiences, new emotions, and new possibilities that we have never been through before. And there’s no one way, fix-it-all solution, to get us through it. We simply try to figure it out as we go. If you're here reading this, this is your reminder that most people often need; you are not alone and do not have to walk this path on your own. We can figure it out together!

Clients who work with Elite Performance Counseling, PLLC (EPC) want to regain their performance edge. High-achievers often struggle with anxiety—it comes with the territory. Those who achieve a lot of success in life, however, are often assumed to “have it all together.” The truth is high-achievers deal with enormous amounts of pressure to achieve bigger and better, which frequently results in unhealthy levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and ultimately a drop in quality of life. Our ability to feel healthy is impacted by how well we can leverage the mind & body so that stress can be managed and power/potential can be maximized.

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.
