In counseling, you will work toward your goals through a safe, affirming, and empowering relationship.
Are you going through a rough patch? Seeking to understand how you got to where you are in life? Experiencing overwhelming transitions? Life can get messy and change can be overwhelming! Yet, I also believe that the process can be rewarding and contribute to our psychological growth. Through counseling, you will experience this growth, you will discover your strengths, build self-awareness, and develop helpful coping strategies. I provide counseling to adults who present with a range of mental health concerns related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, trauma, sexuality, low self-esteem, culture and identity.

Life’s challenges can allow one to believe that their situations are unique to them. Mental illness, addiction, stress, grief, and relationship struggles touch the lives of individuals on a daily basis. As women, we tend to believe that we can carry the weight of the world, but meanwhile, we're struggling on the inside. Are you not feeling like yourself and wondering what happened to the "old" you who used to enjoy life? Perhaps you're struggling with a relationship that isn't bringing you the joy it once did, ​or maybe it's the struggles of parenting. Are you questioning who you are or what's your purpose?

Recuerdo el momento cuando mis amigxs me recomendaron ir a terapia. La verdad, no creí que eso funcionaría para mí o para mi familia. Tenía miedo de hablar de mis cosas personales con alquien desconocido, me hacía sentir mucha inseguridad y me daba miedo sentirme vulnerable. Pero también sabía que no me gustaba la soledad y el malestar emocional que sentía. No quería que me dieran pastillas para aliviar mi dolor. No quería sentirme como un ratón de laboratorio. Me costó trabajo pedir ayuda. Quería que alguien me escuchara y entendiera, porque ya no quería sentir esa soledad y desesperación.

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.
