What sets me apart is that I will call you within 24 hours of getting a call from you.I suppose my ideal client would be the one that would feel the best fit with me. After the research that has been done, what matters most is the
relationship
(the fit) you have with your therapist, not their level of expertise, sense of humor, great coping skills, etc. However, I do best with individuals who are highly motivated to change. That does not mean that there will not be setbacks. However, it's how we view those setbacks. Are they failures or learning experiences? I prefer learning experiences. My goal is to get you to be your ideal self.

My areas of speciality are treating anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, trauma,
relationship
difficulties, and stress from major life transitions.
Counseling is a space where you can explore, process, heal and grow. By being vulnerable we can allow ourselves the space to reflect on who we are now and where we have come from. I believe that we deserve a space where we can feel safe, comfortable and free from judgement. In this space, we can take out some of the boxes that are stored away and discover how we can let go of what no longer serves us while creating new ways of being and relating to ourselves, others, and the world around us .

Counselor, MA, LPC

Being human means that life is going to be difficult sometimes. We may need to explore different avenues for change. Current struggles may be due to a major life transition like a job loss, becoming a parent, experiencing empty nest, a death in the family, or a new
relationship
, or they may be due to current unhealthy dynamics in existing relationships. Sometimes nothing has happened and we just get "stuck in a rut" and can't seem to make any positive changes that would enable us to go in a different direction. Depression and anxiety can be our mind and body's way of telling us that it is time for change.

Welcome! You're curious about something - more curious about yourself than about me, I hope. Granted, curiosity about one's Self can be uncomfortable. Sometimes it's easier to look elsewhere than to look within. And sometimes, we may become a little too curious about ourselves and not curious enough about others. Tricky balance! Emotional pain,
relationship
stress, feeling disconnected from yourself, your work, or your community… These may be minor issues or chronic, recurring themes in your life. I believe it's human nature to do the best we can with the knowledge, resources, and insights we have at any given time.

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.
