My goal is to walk alongside you, hear your personal story / lived experience, and collaboratively talk through resolutions, alleviation, and healthy management of the concerns, feelings, and thoughts that you bring to the counseling relationship.
Are you or have you ever been in a season of life where you feel isolated, stuck, overwhelmed, or just not feeling your best? You are not alone! Everyone has struggles, whether that be in relationships, friendships, marriage, or family dynamics. Facing hardships in life is not uncommon and is something you should never face alone or be ashamed of. Thus, seeking help is not a sign of weakness but instead one of the bravest actions you can take as a human being!

How do you envision your path towards greater self-awareness and fulfillment unfolding? Is it through the exploration of past experiences and their impact on your present? Maybe it’s through the cultivation of self-compassion and self-acceptance. Or perhaps, you envision a path that includes setting and working towards achievable goals. As a therapist, I find fulfillment in working with a diverse array of clients, including those dealing with neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma, couples work, depression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and general life transitions.

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.
