Our office believes that access to counseling should be easy and comfortable. I personally try my best to never turn away a client, schedule immediately, and work with any financial barriers. Although I work with a variety of treatment goals and treatment modalities, I am known for my work with children, trauma experienced populations, relationship counseling, addictions, military and advocacy for community health. When working with children, I always involve the parents and I attempt to assess in a variety of settings to assure I have the entire picture. Counseling should feel comfortable and safe.

If you are struggling with depression, infidelity, trauma or relationship difficulties, then I would like to help you with this. Perhaps you have started to lose hope in your future, feel disconnected from people or get no enjoyment out of life. Or maybe you are experiencing mood-swings, self-criticism or even a sense that your emotions have been turned off. You might feel that difficult experiences in childhood or those within an adult relationship have left you feeling traumatized and stuck. Or maybe you feel betrayed by a partner – through what they did or what they are not doing. It is possible to heal from these things.

Hello and welcome. I believe that when someone is searching for a therapist, they want to find someone who will listen, not judge, and who is warm and supportive. One of my goals is to create a working environment together, where you feel comfortable revealing what topics bring you in, and where I can help you by listening, not judging, and using my training and years of experience to be the therapist you are looking for. Some subjects are hard to talk about. I realize this, and will make the process as easy and comfortable as possible for you.

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.
