Do you and your partner keep having the same argument over and over and wonder why nothing changes?
I help couples break negative patterns that keep them stuck in conflict, disconnection, or mistrust. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help partners better understand their emotions, communicate more effectively, and rebuild trust. I also work with individuals struggling in relationships due to insecurities, childhood wounds, or past experiences.

I can create a nonjudgmental validating space for clients to process and express their needs and goals. Clients are the ‘master of their own experience’ and I can help them navigate how they want to write the next chapter. There is a time for mindfulness, time for cognitive reframing, and times where the best feedback is no feedback. There are various variables that can have someone seek therapy so I will maintain a trauma-informed and cultural competent approach. There is no ‘on sized’ fits all approach. I embrace that no client is the same and can use their own strengths to be a protective factor on their mental health journey.

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.
