BE's specialties, training, and certifications include: Trainer for Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior, Psychologist in Hospice Care, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Clinical Team, Depression Treatment Group, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy.
Dr. BE connects well with people who you might not traditionally associate with counseling services to guide them through their struggles and life challenges. That drive to "have it all" that so many professionals demonstrate can also make it hard to ask for help at times when it's needed most. With both a unique "no BS" attitude and a demeanor that's connectable, Dr. BE has become a valuable asset for clients who typically didn't expect to find therapy beneficial.

If you are struggling with your relationship, wanting to know yourself better, needing support with gender and sexual identity, needing a safe space for your teen, or wanting to work on separating and co-parenting well - I have experience working in all of these areas and would love to support you on your journey.
Are you considering trying therapy for the first time, but are not sure if it is right for you? Actually, that makes sense! It is difficult to find a therapist that is a good fit. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what you even want support with, or would like to work on. I work with a wide variety of clients because I know that client/therapist fit is the number one predictor in whether or not therapy will be effective for you. I work with a wide variety of approaches because I know that no single type of therapy is right for everyone.

This is where couples therapy comes in.
We are not really taught what it takes to be in a healthy relationship. Honestly, most of us are winging it based the function or dysfunction that we saw from our parents without even realizing that is what we are doing. While most of us are doing our best in our relationships, without intentions or tools we can create habits and behaviors that end up causing disconnect and dissatisfaction with our partners. What if you could learn new tools to be able to feel connected? What if working through conflict didn't have to be a traumatic experience every time it came up?

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.
