Being a parent, a
partner
, a caregiver, an employee, or a student can create high stress that eventually takes its toll on your mental and physical capacities.
Stress comes in many forms. Today it may be heightened with the pandemic. My clients are those, like you, who wish to uncover the answers to living a more confident, healthful, and peaceful life no matter the circumstance. When you are mentally healthy, it becomes easier to make healthy life choices. Dealing with relationships, mental and physical fitness and your internal guidance system are all incorporated to provide the answers needed to become a happier, more peaceful you. Sometimes it helps to have someone with which to talk through the problems and to guide you in learning new skillsets for daily living and coping.

I work best with
couples
who want to stay together and need help making that happen.
You never thought your marriage would look like this. The fights. The yelling. It's all exhausting. You want to stay married, you just can't see how to make it happen or if it will even work. It feels like in the midst of doing life together something changed and the spark that brought you together feels like a tiny flicker now. You want things to be the way they were before life got so hard but that feels like lightyears ago. The passion is missing. The trust is missing. Intimacy is practically non-existent. Talking even feels difficult. You're ready for things to be different, but need a little help figuring out how to get there.

I help people struggling with depression, anxiety,
relationship
difficulties, family conflict, low self esteem, and grief.
It is easy to feel anxious, depressed, have low self esteem, or grief. Maybe you are in a difficult
relationship
where your needs aren't being met, or are recovering from some form of infidelity. I believe healing can be found with self exploration, conversation and the support of a compassionate therapist. I work to make sure you feel safe to take time, breathe, feel free to process your thoughts (big or small), cry, shout, and laugh. It is through this process I hope you will find healing and strength.

As a couple and family therapist, I love to help people address all kinds of relational issues.
Relationship
concerns often look different for different people, but to me they include anything that negatively impacts you or how you interact with people in your life. I believe the stories we tell ourselves have a very powerful impact on our lives and how we see the world. Many times, those stories end up holding us back in some way. I guide the process as you change them to be more in line with the life you want to live. My goal is to help people create a life where they feel empowered, courageous, and authentic.

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.
