Are you trying to heal from a hurtful relationship? Relationships end for a variety of reasons. I work with individuals that are looking for healing and closure from emotionally abusive relationships. We hear a lot about narcissism and the term “gaslighting” is thrown around as a buzzword on social media. It can be confusing trying to understand what happened and why. My passion is helping you accept your past experiences and not only heal, but also grow from them.

I also specialize in couples and family work.
My ideal client is open, honest, and willing. Therapeutic work is not always easy, but as long as you are open to whatever hurdles you may face, I am confident I can help you through them. I want to help you first and foremost understand what it is you are going through. I then want to provide education about how it happens, what it means, and how it can be handled. Many people want to be seen and heard and know that the person sitting across from them guiding them through vulnerable experiences understands what they are going through. I am committed to getting to know you and how I can help.

I also integrate biofeedback of various types into the treatment program in order to either avoid or minimize medication interventions, when appropriate. I search diligently the patient's medical history and symptoms, and work with local medical providers, to rule out general medical conditons that may be driving psychological symptoms, e.g. hypothyroid and depression, or adrenal issues and anxiety or depression. Anxiety can be treated with biofeedback interventions and I provide in-office treatment and take home devices.

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.
