I help individuals and couples who are feeling stuck to find freedom.
On the outside, you’re the person everyone comes to when they need help - and you shine when you're supporting others. But on the inside you're feeling stuck in your head. You can't stop worrying about what might happen next and thinking about how to prepare for all possible worst-case scenarios. All the thinking makes it hard to fall asleep at night and difficult to enjoy the present moment. Maybe you know that you want to be present, calm, and confident, but you're struggling to get there on your own. You don't have to walk through this alone, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again.

"We don't ask for much, maybe a little cooperation, all we get is disrespect." "I've seen four or five therapist since I was a kid, how will this be any different?" "Our son has always been anxious, he's agreed to at least talk to someone about some strategies."

I have also worked with foster families, hospice patients and their families, older adults, couples, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
I work with people using a variety of philosophies, but those encompassing humanistic and psychodynamic theories inform most of my practice. This generally means I am most interested in focusing on emotions, insight, relationships, past experiences, meta-emotion, self-worth, authenticity, fantasies, and the unconscious. I rely heavily on discussing shame, vulnerability, emotional needs, and creating meaning in life. I am fairly non-directive, and I will be most focused on helping you find your own authentic path by reflecting and exploring deeper meanings and patterns that arise in our discussions.

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.
