You might be here because talking to each other has gotten harder lately. Maybe you feel misunderstood or seem to have the same argument on repeat. Maybe you just miss feeling close. If you’re trying to figure out what’s really going on, how to break old communication patterns, or how to reconnect in a way that feels good for both of you—couples therapy can help. You don't have to sort through this alone. I work with couples and adults who want to feel happier in their relationships. Couples therapy gives you a clearer, calmer space to explore what's going on under the surface and rebuild the way you talk, listen, and connect.
For over twenty years I have worked with clients experiencing addiction, chronic mental illness, and complex trauma. I've also worked for many years in the LGBTA+ community and with persons living with HIV/AIDS. Depression, life transitions, identity issues, parenting struggles, grief, sex, and conflict in relationships are some of my clinical interests.
I work with adults and couples who want to improve their communication and strengthen their relationship. Counseling can be a vehicle for change, or it can simply be an arena for reflection. Whatever your goal, you deserve the time and space to examine your life. I'd welcome the chance to discuss your needs. Please contact me for a free phone consultation.
