Is your relationship thriving?
I see therapy as a way to develop a deeper understanding of the patterns that hold you back, get in the way of your goals, and keep you feeling depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. I utilize a mix of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic approaches. However, I believe that creating a safe and collaborative relationship is the most important.

In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others.
If you embrace your emotions in a way that is restorative and healing rather than anxiety-proving or depleting, then you can live life meaningfully. Individual therapy fosters such growth. In treatment with couples and families, I help people move from battlefields and destructiveness to the development of intimate, safe, secure connections.

I see individuals and couples in my practice and the way I work is informed by evidence-based treatment approaches (AEDP and EFT) which explore how our earliest experiences in life connect with current experience/relationships.
My stance is supportive, committed and validating. I create space where you can reflect and talk about anything on your mind and I will be present with you to help process your emotions and cope with hardships. I believe in our inherent strengths and capacity for healing and change and I strive to provide an experience where you will learn and thrive.

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.
