Couples who sense something has shifted and aren't sure how to get back to each other. Relationships get into trouble when people stop changing with the changes — life shifts, people shift, and couples who don't grow together get stuck. That's what couples therapy is at its core: helping a relationship adapt and grow together.
Couples develop the skills to talk about what matters most under stress, break the patterns that keep them stuck, and get clear on the kind of relationship they want. What holds couples back isn't a lack of love — it's not knowing how to get past what blocks them from becoming the partner they aspire to be.

Most men we work with are high-functioning on the outside but running on overload internally. Professionals, business owners, and leaders who have been pushing through stress, anxiety, irritability, or relationship strain for years. What brings them in isn’t curiosity—it’s friction. Work feels heavier, relationships feel more strained, patience is shorter, and the strategies that used to work stop working. They’re not looking to be analyzed—they’re looking to get back in control.

Every marriage and partnership goes through ups and downs. However, some situations call for extra support from a trained couples counselor. Couples counseling can: improve communication and reduce conflict; bring back the spark when couples feel like "roommates"; blend families after remarriage; and, create amicable co-parenting during a divorce in order to minimize the impact on children. Pre-marital counseling helps new couples prepare for the future. With nearly 30 years of experience, I offer grounded, effective therapy rooted in extensive training and a deep commitment to helping people grow and heal.

You’re a deep feeler—sensitive to sound, energy, conflict, or chaos. You might be neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD), navigating trauma, or parenting a child who feels everything, too. You crave understanding, regulation, and relief. You want to unmask, find your voice, and parent without shame or burnout. You’re looking for a therapist who truly gets it—and who knows healing doesn’t come from “fixing” you, but from helping you reconnect with the wisdom you already carry.

I believe every individual has the ability to change their circumstances by focusing on the elements which are within their control. Equally as important, we must learn to let go of situations over which we are powerless. By sharing experiences with another person and working through the obstacles that inhibit the life we desire, it is possible to create a life which allows us to thrive. My goal is to assist you in this process by providing a safe environment where you can be open and honest with yourself.

Codependency Therapists
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
