Life can be difficult... Stress from work, relationships, and other life experiences may leave a person feeling alone or lacking support. This stress often has adverse and unwanted effects on overall well-being and is important to address. The counseling relationship provides an opportunity to be supported in a safe environment with a counselor who is open, responsive, and accepting of you and your lived experiences. Counseling can be seen as a relational tool in working towards the life you've been wanting for yourself, whether it looks like managing mental health symptoms or realizing your goals.

In my 40 plus years as a mental health care provider, I have found that regardless of how skilled a clinician I may be, I am only effective when I have successfully developed a working relationship with my clients. This relationship is key to addressing issues, providing encouragement, and enhancing the client's personal motivation. To make the necessary changes in thinking, beliefs and behavior, I work together with my clients to bring about about their desired goals. My areas of focus are anxiety and depressive disorders, treatment of trauma, and marital and family issues.

Individuals, couples, and families experience trauma, stressors, and circumstances outside their control throughout life. Such times can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves and others. We are relational beings, wired for connection, yet sometimes we get caught in negative interaction cycles, often driven by the same unmet needs. I help couples uncover those underlying unmet needs, emotions, and perceptions and then facilitate a pattern of turning toward each other rather than away.

Counseling is a pretty scary idea. Often, the clients that I work with have not experienced a safe relationship in a long time. The idea of sitting in a room and sharing your life story with someone seems like a recipe for betrayal and pain. At some point, though, the need for healing outweighs that risk and you choose to start working towards wellness. It is an uncomfortable, heavy, and ultimately extremely rewarding journey. I'm ready to get started with you.

Therapy can help anyone. We all have seasons where we feel stuck, and a safe professional can offer you paths of growth and healing that may not seem obvious given the circumstances. I believe everyone has the capacity to make changes in their life for the better. Some common needs that are addressed in counseling include: improving emotional regulation, alleviating symptoms of anger, depression, trauma, and anxiety. Importantly, counseling can offer a space for improving relationships, developing healthy family boundaries, and rebuilding the ability to trust. If you feel like you are on a hamster wheel, you are in the right place!

For the last twenty-seven years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and creativity of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" and thus pay keen attention to how a persons body, mind, and social systems play a role in creating challenges and solutions in life. I also believe psychotherapists are most successful when they demand the same changes in themselves that they encourage in those they provide therapy for.

In sessions, we may work to build your anxiety-management tools, process trauma, improve your relationship with your emotions, gain clarity about stuck points, challenge unhelpful patterns, or improve communication skills, all with the goal of freeing you to live a more fulfilling life.
It can often feel difficult to cultivate meaningful change in our lives, but I believe it is well worth the effort. Perhaps you are feeling perpetually stuck, scarred from past trauma, bogged down by negative narratives of yourself, or feeling disconnected and lost, but you are hoping to detach from these painful repeated patterns so that you can move forward with the things that are most important to you. Fortunately, you don't have to go the journey alone. Together, we can navigate the challenging path so that you can rediscover your authentic self, develop healthier relationships, embrace the present, and navigate the future.

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.
