I believe the purpose of psychotherapy is to ease emotional and
relationship
difficulties and increase satisfaction in life. Clients come to therapy with diverse needs, but typically they are seeking help either to deal with immediate life crises or to address ongoing challenges. In my practice these have included issues of anxiety and depression; bereavement; effects of trauma; parenting and
relationship
concerns; and varied behavior problems. I see both children and adults and have a subspecialty in
couples counseling
. For psychotherapeutic techniques to be successful they must be adapted to the client's unique needs and circumstances.

The working therapeutic
relationship
is critical to your success and my priority will be aligning my work with you in a way that feels respectful, accessible, and ultimately, helpful.
Navigating life’s challenges in an increasingly chaotic world can feel overwhelming, scary, and even numbing; as a licensed counselor I believe in the power of therapy to facilitate healing, growth, safety, serenity, and self-actualization in the face of life's many demands. I am a passionate advocate for social equity, justice, and accessibility to services for all, and while I work with people of all walks and persuasions, I specialize in therapy with fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges, and those dealing with trauma, depression, and anxiety.

I specialize in adults with anxiety, depression,
relationship
issues, loss and trauma.
I am a skilled clinical psychologist who can help you explore your interior self. I hope to assist you to increase awareness, improve relationships and learn healthier coping skills. Talking through and processing problems - and understanding the roots of recurring issues - can lead to a fuller, richer life. Depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues can inhibit people from reaching personal and professional possibilities. I will engage with you to explore emotions and reactions, and provide an objective, neutral and supportive environment for you to understand who you are.

Couples
therapy offers you and your

an opportunity to address difficult aspects of your
relationship
that seemed to endlessly repeat.
In the midst of all the chaos and pain, there is also opportunity. The key is seeking out help and then going for it. Individual therapy creates a different context for personal exploration and new experiences. Our work will enable you to move forward toward growth, change, and healing. We will collaborate to pinpoint strengths and identity stressors, so you can make necessary adjustments to move towards a place of strength, knowledge and comfort. You'll build skills you need for better, more satisfying connections with others. Together, we will maximize the best parts of you.

What are the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves? Where do we learn them? Therapy is a great place to start creating new stories that are more aligned with your values and desires. I believe that healing happens in the
relationship
and approach therapy as a creative, collaborative experience between therapist and client, where humor, kindness, and self-expression are valued and encouraged. My areas of expertise include working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and family conflict, though I work with individuals of all ages to help them manage the stressors of life and achieve greater self-awareness

Albert Einstein said, "A problem cannot be solved by the mind that created it." Therapy gives us a safe
relationship
where we can explore our inner world and consider taking new risks in our outer one. To my mind, therapy is the process of talking things over with someone and, together, giving meaning and hope to pain and confusion. I endeavor to bring respect and curiosity to our conversation. I believe that we each have the wisdom to solve our problems, but our strengths get blocked when we experience trauma, depression, or overwhelming anxiety. In our work together, I aim to help you reconnect with your innate ability to 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.
