I am a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
As a counselor I have the honor of offering hope to my clients when they may not have any for themselves. My desire is to be a resource for them in this journey of life and to be one of the avenues for God to accomplish His purposes in them. My counseling practice incorporates a distinctly Christian worldview into my methods and practices; however I do work with clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to respect the individual beliefs of each person I work with and to help them using the truths we have through Scripture.

I also have a passion for work with couples and individuals struggling to heal following significant loss/trauma.
I believe the bravest thing we can do is embrace our true authentic self. Unfortunately, most of us have difficulty pushing through the negative messages that scream "YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN YOUR WORST CHOICE." We get stuck in our current experience as we wrestle with our fears, difficulty in our relationships and facing the grief of loss, convincing ourselves we do not deserve anything better than we can see right in front of us. I have a passion to help others find their authentic self and explore the barriers that may hinder them from expressing the powerful version of themselves that they long to embrace.

There are many reasons why someone may find themselves seeking a better way to engage with life. Maybe stress is feeling overwhelming and the strategies you have used in the past just aren't cutting it anymore. Maybe you find yourself in the throes of addiction and struggling with breaking the addictive cycle that keeps you from finding that better way. Because you are seeking, you have strength within you that is important to be recognized. People that find me during their search are typically those that find themselves in the aforementioned struggles and need support recognizing their strength to overcome their challenges.

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.
