Couples Counseling Therapists in Tigard, OR
Whether struggling with a relationship, anger management, communication skills, parenting, self-identity, depression or anxiety, I work with my clients to identify the maladaptive thought processes, roadblocks and circumstances that have led to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, or helplessness.
The dissolution of a marriage brings forth a number of emotional and financial challenges, especially if children are involved. If divorce is inevitable, I will work with both parents from a non-judgmental, strengths-based approach to establish a co-parenting plan that will best meet the emotional and developmental needs of the family.

We’ll figure out what’s actually going on beneath the blowups, practice talking like humans again, and maybe even laugh - preferably not in a “laugh so you don’t cry” kind of way.

I feel deeply drawn to supporting queer clients as they navigate identity and relationships.
I specialize in grief. That means I sit with people in the most tender, messy, and human parts of life. Grief isn’t just about death; it can be about endings, transitions, identity shifts, and even the loss of who we thought we’d be. In the thick of grief, joy can feel impossible, but I believe laughter, sarcasm, and celebration can live right alongside tears and sorrow. My therapy room is often full of it all - the noise and the quiet, the heartbreak and the humor.

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.
