Are you struggling with anxiety, sadness, feelings of loneliness or emptiness, or substance use? Are your relationships with family, friends, or others important to you being strained or affected? Are you having problems getting things done in your daily life? If so, you are not alone. For the past 20 years, I have been working with people from diverse backgrounds with unique circumstances, just like yours.

How do you begin, where you don’t know where to start? Collaborating with someone who is impartial and can listen without judgement is a critical step in this journey. This trusted individual should be able to assist in organizing your thoughts and feelings, and provide coping strategies to navigate through life’s stressors. I strive to build therapeutic relationships with my clients in which I can provide all of the above.

We all need a shoulder at times, a compassionate and empathetic ear. There are things that you just can’t say to loved ones in your life. And sometimes there are things you can’t get a handle on by yourself. You are not alone. I work with adolescents and adults who need a place to speak freely without judgement and be heard.

The role of a pastoral counselor is to be a compassionate listener and guide - someone who can sit with you as you explore a deeper self-understanding, reflect back to you your insights, discuss options and goals, then assist you in designing an effective path of healing and change.

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.
