I currently work with adults, children, individual, family and couples.
As a therapist I understand that life can sometimes feel out of control and overwhelming. Whether its things in your past or something that you're going through now, just know that there is hope and you don't have to go through this alone. You have the ability to find peace and happiness in your life. Sometimes you just need a little help navigating through your problems. Counseling is a safe and effective way to help you reach your goals. Learn how to be the person you've always wanted to be with the help and encouragement of someone who is in your corner.

I became a therapist because I believe in human potential and have personally endured some of the limiting experiences that can hamper one’s ability to enjoy life, love and relationship. Sometimes our challenges arise from choices we or others have made, or from circumstances, past and present, that we never asked for. Whatever your situation, therapy is a place where you can freely explore where you are and where you want to be. As your therapist, I can walk alongside, in front or behind, as you pursue your hopes and dreams, without feeling as though your past and things you can’t control are limiting your vision for the future.

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.
