Life circumstances can deeply affect us. Over the last two decades, I have walked beside countless individuals and couples facing life changes, difficult decisions, crisis and/or addiction recovery, and the challenge of overcoming dysfunctional behaviors. I have also worked extensively with those seeking to improve or begin relationships, explore career options, and many simply gaining a deeper understanding of who they are.

I provide specialized OCD treatment without exposure techniques and I enjoy working with individuals and couples struggling with trauma, perfectionism, and overwork and overwhelm. I take pride in aiding individuals who may seem outwardly confident but struggle with anxiety, as well as those who identify as neurodivergent (i.e., autism, ADHD). My focus lies in addressing the impacts of shame, self-criticism, and trust issues. I believe understanding our complex emotions leads to personal growth and opens up new experiences in compassion for ourselves and others.

The thing I most enjoy about being a counselor is it gives me the opportunity to see how truly resilient people are. I've had the privilege of working with couples who believed that their marriage was beyond repair, and with individuals who were convinced that they were broken. And I've seen those same individuals and couples work to develop new ways of thinking and relating to others, and work to confront past issues that were controlling their present. Working with each of those individuals and couples was a great privilege, and I would consider it a privilege to work with you as well!

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.
