As a Certified Trauma Professional, I help people just like you navigate the weight of past experiences, relationship struggles, and ongoing stress.
You’ve been carrying something heavy for far too long, maybe it’s the constant feeling of being “not enough,” struggling to maintain relationships, or always feeling like you’re one step away from falling apart. You want clarity. You want to understand why things feel so difficult, why the same patterns keep repeating, and how you can finally feel whole. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just disconnected, you’re ready to break free from the emotional weight and create a life that feels more like your own.

Now as an LCSW, I work with couples, families, teens, and adults and have practiced in the field for the last 8 years.
I believe healing happens in relationships and pride myself in being a warm, cheerful, direct, open-minded therapist who empowers clients to reach their goals and improve their quality of life. I recognize that the first session with a new therapist can be intimidating, so I work to make clients feel comfortable and safe to share their struggles. Change does not always progress linearly and may feel unattainable at times, but I believe in meeting people where they are. Having a supportive and knowledgeable therapist can facilitate your growth and help you feel confident in handling the changes life throws your way.

I work especially with couples and families and individuals who have experienced trauma.
Perhaps you find yourself here because you are ready for a change that's been a long time coming. You might be stuck in the same ways of interacting in your relationships, even if they cause pain and hinder connection. Or, you may find yourself painfully reliving your past traumas and hardships, no matter how hard you try to press on. Yes, even for you, it is possible to find a new way of living with more freedom, intimacy and connection. But, this can be hard without help along the way.

Together, through trust and understanding, we alleviate the internal conflict and struggles that make happiness feel unreachable.

Do you find yourself repeatedly choosing partners who aren't the right fit?

Therapy can provide the support you need. If you're ready to build healthier relationships, challenge negative beliefs, and change behaviors, I'd be honored to accompany you on this transformative journey.

You feel overwhelmed all of the time, there’s not enough time in the day to do everything that is expected of you, and even your kids feel like a burden. You don’t feel close to your partner, and you’re not feeling motivated at work… feeling like a failure is a common experience these days and with all the guilt that comes along with it. You wish you could wake up with energy instead of the dread of doing it all over again, just like the day before. You want to have the energy to have patience for your kids and their needs, feel your best at work, and look forward to coming home afterward instead of stressed and resentful.

For nearly 8 years, we have been honored to support individuals, couples, teens and families as they take the brave step of embarking on the path toward healing from anxiety, depression, sexual trauma, childhood trauma and Complex PTSD.
Do anxiety, generation trauma ("what happens at home stays home" and never resolved), sexual abuse, addiction and insecurities run your life more than your values and dreams? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As challenging as those experiences were for the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings.

I’m Eliza Boquin, a relationship therapist, certified energy healing practitioner, and an AASECT-certified sex therapist.
You know relationships to take effort, but this is too much! Conversations go nowhere; it's like you don't even speak the same language. You want off this rollercoaster. The connection is gone, and intimacy feels like another task you just need to get over with. You ask, "Is this as good as it gets?" Or maybe you just got out of a relationship like that, and you're sick of the dating world already- the aimless small talk, and “good morning” texts. You’re trying to keep an open mind, but you are ready to put that dating profile on pause. You long for a relationship where you feel supported, desired, and understood.

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.
