Life is hard and we often need more support, perspective, and skills, to navigate our challenging circumstances. Therapy offers a safe space to explore all that is going on in your life, a place to find your true voice, your aliveness, and heal early woundings. In therapy we focus on balancing acceptance of what is, with direction and empowerment to change what can be changed. Our goal is to amplify your sense of peace, fulfillment, and joy, while feeling seen, heard, and understood.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a focus in
couples
and families, I'm passionate believer in the power of connection and awareness, as well as, the capacity of human beings to heal and become the person they aspire to be.
I frequently hear clients ask "how come I ended up feeling like this, in the same situation again?" Unless we make ourselves aware of what are our hidden motivations, we will not get rid of maladaptive patterns that control our lives. Therapy is the exploration through which you get to know yourself better, you get to accept your personal history and the current situation that you are living in; allowing you to bring out the best in yourself, improve the quality of your relationships and further your personal growth

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.
