Safety and trust are an integral part of the counseling relationship, and I strive to create that bond with each of my clients.
Have you found yourself longing for a break from feeling constantly on edge? Or even saying out loud to yourself or someone you love “I need some help.” Maybe it feels like life has lost its color, and you’re struggling to find joy. We all find ourselves at these moments in life for various reasons. Whether you’re going through a big life transition, feeling stuck in a cycle of miscommunication with your partner, or just feeling off without really understanding how you got to where you are, we all long to know that we’re going to be ok. I believe that counseling can help if you have found yourself in one of these moments.

My clients are primarily adults/ couples that feel overwhelmed by life in some way.
Life is challenging and sometimes overwhelming for all of us! I believe everyone has within themselves the ability and inner wisdom to successfully navigate life's challenges if given the opportunity and necessary tools for change. Therapy is an opportunity for me to walk with clients through life challenges by helping them identify and meet their own desired life goals for change and personal growth while helping them to reclaim their own life story. By providing a safe place and personal support, I help clients explore the context of their own life experiences and the impact of those experiences on their life and relationships.

I know how you ache to feel understood and to show your partner that you understand them.
The couples I work with are struggling. At first glance they may seem fine – smiling and happy – but they cannot stop arguing. They know they love their person but they feel so stuck. It HURTS. They long to feel understood, to know that their person is “with them”, and they want to know they are not alone. They want to find a way to make their relationship work but they don’t know where to start.

Through this process, you and your partner can work towards having the kind of connecting conversations you have been hoping for.
Couples often enter my office feeling like their best efforts to share with their partner are met with anger, defensiveness or nothing at all. They so badly want to feel close and understood, but with each attempt to reach out they once again feel hurt and alone. Their partner often feels like despite their best efforts, they keep hearing what they got wrong leaving them feeling like they can’t ever seem to get it right. As these stuck places continue, of course it is easy to start to feel exhausted and hopeless as it seems you are all out of moves and maybe even tired of trying.

I love to work with those who are struggling and trying to find their way. Though I'm trained in addressing a wide scope of concerns, I particularly enjoy helping individuals in late adolescence and early adulthood overcome obstacles and build independence as they pursue personal and vocational goals. It is a great joy to see my clients work toward the life they want.

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.
