And when relevant, I developed a couples communication system, with handouts and worksheets to support you outside of sessions.
A warm hello to you! I specialize in relationships, and not just romantic relationships. Everything we do in life is relational, when you think about it. When we are with our partners, ourselves, our families, spirits, nature—everything we contact is a form of relating (sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously). Our relating choices are typically informed by our families of origin, life experiences, trauma, soul wisdom, education, culture, and much more. I offer an opportunity to deeply explore your unique relating. We are fellow travelers on Earth, each on a remarkable journey of mind, body, and spirit.

I provide services in both English and Spanish. As a clinical mental health counselor, I believe the relationship between client and therapist is the most important part of the process. It is imperative that client(s) can trust me, and I provide a safe place for my clients to let themselves be vulnerable. I offer a judgement free atmosphere where my clients can grow and learn how to be the best version of themselves, to recognize their strengths and enhance coping skill using various modalities.

Children experiencing ongoing stress, internal conflicts and or trauma, often, more than other's their own age, resort to acting-out at home, at school, and in the community, and will do things such as; not following or ignoring directions, yelling, crying, screaming, hitting, throwing things, as well as fighting with sibling, peers, and adults. Parents do their best, but sometimes feel overwhelmed or even guilty, where despite all of their efforts, the child continues to misbehave. The hardest part, is that parents and kids want resolution, a return to a better relationship , but sometimes it's hard to know where to start.

I am a Certified EMDR therapist with a focus on couples , relationships, marriage and sex.
You've experienced something terrible in your life, and you cannot stop thinking about it. You can't sleep, and barely function throughout the day. Or maybe you function, but you're unhappy, stressed and anxious. Maybe you cover the pain with drugs, sex or alcohol. Trauma affects everyone- and everyone reacts in their own way. You want to be able to look forward to your day, your life and your relationships. If you've been through sexual trauma, infidelity, relational issues or have low self esteem, EMDR can help.

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.
