relationship
issues, and offer daytime appointments M-Th in-person or via telehealth. I work with my clients to build happier, healthier relationships with their partners, parents, children, friends, or co-workers. Many issues impact relationships: communication problems, infidelity, a pile-up of life stressors, physical or mental health issues, substance use, life-stage transitions, or patterns going back to the families we grew up in. Folks may come in for help with a current issue, or to gain insight into longstanding patterns. To learn more visit www.HealthyRelationsCounseling.com

I consider our
relationship
a mutual, collaborative, authentic, and intentional one.
It is not common to be taught how to process our emotional experiences or ask for help, which is why starting or resuming therapy can often be a feat of its own. The same sentiment is true if you have found yourself wondering if you have ADHD or struggle with other neurodivergence. Through psychological testing, we can uncover the different ways your brain synthesizes information from your environment and ultimately impacts your ability to perform. I am committed to acknowledging the ways intersecting identities show up in the testing process and provide you with an integrative list of resources and recommendations.

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.
