As a therapist I am humbled by the complexity of our emotional world. Finding a solution is not always a clear or linear process. I hope to create a space where sitting in the discomfort of not immediately knowing or fixing becomes tolerable. My therapeutic style tends to focus on building self-awareness and understanding how past experiences can influence our present ability to cope or make decisions that align with values you may hold. The way we understand ourselves can be impacted by the people and spaces that we navigate each day. I hope to understand how your early experiences may be with you in the present.

Everyone comes to therapy with a unique story. Whatever may be bringing you in, I can assure you that no other person has told your story before.

Problems that often lead my clients towards deeper therapeutic exploration include self doubt, relationship conflict, worries about sex and sexuality, addictions and compulsions, and trauma.

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.
