I want every couple who comes to see me to feel heard and seen as individuals and to gain fresh insight and tools for their relationship. I’m passionate about improving communication, healing areas of hurt and resentment in a relationship, and improving intimacy. I also love working with parents of autistic children to find joy in parenting neurodivergence and working with late-diagnosed (or suspected) autistic adults. My third specialty area is working with new moms struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, and changes to body image and relationships.

I primarily utilize Emotionally-Focused Therapy in work with families, couples, and individuals, focusing on how our attachment relationships shape the ways we interact with the the world and ourselves.
Welcome! Beginning therapy is an exciting, but potentially daunting experience. It's hard to know where to start when you've been feeling stuck. Know that you've made a good choice stepping up for yourself and your loved ones. In the the therapy room, I aim to provide a welcoming, calming, environment where my clients and I can collaborate to uncover questions, ideas and solutions that work for each family or individual's unique life situation.

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.
