Evidence shows that one of the most important components in having positive results from counseling is the therapeutic relationship.
Counseling doesn't have to be scary. Throughout our lives we all experience difficult situations that need a second set of eyes and ears to offer a different perspective. Since friends and family are unable to be objective, that is where the counselor's role comes into play. Whether you are having family conflict, relationship issues with your significant other, or just need someone to talk to because everything just seems to be falling apart, I am here for you.

We will engage in an open therapeutic relationship where I compassionately meet you where you are, helping you safely discover your true self and integrate disowned parts of yourself.
Navigating life's complexities, you often feel invisible strings pulling you in unfamiliar directions. You find yourself in repetitive emotional patterns, relationships that seem all too familiar. Intriguing dreams and symbols capture your imagination as you desire a deeper connection to your authentic self. Analytical psychoanalysis offers a path to compassionately explore these nuanced layers within you. Our work together will aim for more than quick fixes; my goal is to facilitate your profound self-realization, individuation and emotional well-being. If you’re called to go on this introspective journey I’m here to walk with you.

With over 20 years of experience in the field, I work with individuals, couples, and families, who are encountering a variety of issues, including marital, relationship, self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss.
At different points of our lives, we may find ourselves facing obstacles that seem to be very difficult to overcome. Strategies that used to help us move forward no longer seem to work. As overbearing as such periods in our lives may seem, they also present an opportunity for growth, for important changes that offer hope and possibilities for a better and reimagined future. As a therapist, I see my role as a facilitator, as someone who has the expertise to guide and support clients to achieve a space in their lives where they feel fulfilled and whole.

Are you feeling shame, fear or guilt, but trying to ignore it? Does depression, grief, or relationship issues make you feel scared and confused? I'd like to help. Emotions can feel messy. If you've been trying to put distance between you and your feelings, you've probably realized that that's not working, and you only end up severing the connection to yourself. I can help you take a new approach, look at those strong emotions differently, and understand what they're trying to tell 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.
