Life is about relationships-with people, food, money, work, activities, expectations. Relationships can get complicated or even destructive, and support, encouragement and advice can mean a successful transition through difficult times. In our fast moving world, there are many stressors that get in the way of achieving the happiness we desire, resulting in negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have 20+ years of experience assisting youth, adults, families and couples overcome these struggles. Most clients would describe me as easy-going and friendly, and I am focused on creating a treatment experience that fits you as a unique client.

I also enjoy working with couples, helping them to improve their communication and bring joy and passion back into their relationship.
I am a firm believer in the mind, body, spirit connection, and as a result take a very holistic approach with my clients. This model emphasizes cultivating a warm and supportive environment, which creates the conditions necessary to facilitate the natural tendency of human beings to move toward wellness. It recognizes that the path to healing, joy and contentment, is an inward journey, which seeks to allow clients to shift from a sense that they are helpless and at the mercy of their circumstances, to a position of empowerment. This process leads clients on a path toward realizing their full potential.

Couple therapy works differently for everyone. Is couples therapy appropriate, and if so, where do you begin? Couples can wait weeks to see a therapist who may be a mismatch for their situation. Couples who could benefit from couples therapy benefit most when they have a clearer picture of what to address and the type of therapist to see. How do you improve your relationship when you don’t know where to start or if it is worth the effort? This is how.

In doing so I help children, teens and adults overcome challenges that keep them stuck in negative patterns. Often traumas are at the root of these negative patterns. By offering Brainspotting, a cutting-edge therapy that evolved from EMDR, trauma is accessed, processed and released. This is life-changing. This is freedom.

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.
