I work with families, couples, and adolescents who are struggling with change.
Has your family experienced divorce, remarriage, or trauma? Is your family struggling through the transition? Sometimes we have expectations of what we want our family to look like and it does not work out that way. Our expectations can create stress when they do not match our reality. Let me provide a safe space for you and your family to talk about your challenges. Then we can explore your expectations, and create new ones.

I offer individual and couples counseling for young adults to help you unblock what keeps you stuck and untangle old wounds and patterns to help you find deep-rooted confidence in who you are, what you are capable of, and how you navigate and form healthy relationships with the most important people and parts of your life.
While maybe you've found your career and next steps in new roles, you still feel anxious, lost, and uncertain about who you are, your place in the world, and how you navigate relationships. Old wounds are surfacing and old patterns aren't working anymore amidst new roles and deeper relationships in adulthood. You make your best attempts to navigate your pain and manage uncertainty but lack a clear path forward. You deserve a space to get untangled, whether that involves helping you explore difficult emotions, mobilize where you feel stuck, or uncover a new understanding of yourself and others.

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.
