Recognizing the need to seek therapy is both courageous and difficult. Working with a therapist who is a good "fit" is integral. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to do the work necessary to reap the benefits. I work with people who present with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other daily life issues. I have worked extensively with individuals and families in crisis. I work collaboratively with the client to establish ways to cope with their difficulties in a warm, empathic environment. I am EMDR trained and utilize this modality as appropriate.

My clients came to counseling because of various issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, divorce, grief and loss, life transitions, loneliness and social isolation.
TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE, We might face life circumstances that seem impossible to cope with. Trusting that you can bounce back and move on can be quite a challenge during such times, but is for sure possible. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients who have dared to hope, to seek help, and take charge of their life to create a better future. I have worked with individuals of different ages (adolescents, adults and seniors) with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

Are past traumas holding you back from living your life fully? Feeling stuck in situations and relationships? Overwhelmed by dealing with your medical issues or the illness of your loved one, including POTS? Coping with grief and loss? Sometimes even positive life changes, such as starting college/grad school, having a baby/returning to work, new relationships, or relocating for a new job can cause stress. These difficulties can leave you feeling unsure and thinking you are the only one who is struggling to adjust. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

I am an interactive therapist, interested in helping clients reduce symptoms of distress, usually anxiety or depression and explore with them the roots of their distress. I find whether it is addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, or straight forward relationship issues, understanding the "why" as well as the "how" to fix it, helps the problem and symptoms subside. Clients that work with me finish therapy with a greater awareness of themselves which helps them avoid difficulties in the future as well as a host of healthy coping strategies to help get through the rough times ahead.

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.
