All of the above can generate levels of depression, anxiety, self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-sabotaging behaviors affecting relationships, and quality of life - and so are essential things to explore.
Over the past 30 years I have had the opportunity to work with thousands of clients from diverse backgrounds, educational and economic status, and presenting issues. I believe at its root, what my specialty is, is to be non-judgmental, a good listener, able to put myself in my client's shoes for a bit, and able to explore ways not just to survive but thrive.

I work from an Interpersonal Processing, relational approach to therapy, with curiosity about your early relationships and family dynamics that contributed to the development of patterns and narratives.
I see therapy as a process in which you and I, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore present concerns, define goals for an improved life, and work toward realizing those goals. It is my role to support and assist you in exploring your past and present life experiences while helping you identify patterns in thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that can both inhibit and support your 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.
