I believe that our relationships with others provide a mirror into our selves. I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, issues with relationships, self-esteem, trauma, grief, illness, infertility, co-dependency, and issues surrounding sexual orientation and gender. I work with couples who are experiencing difficulties with respect to communication, lack of connection, infidelity, co-parenting and the blending of two families. My work with families includes communication issues between parents and children as well as between adult siblings.

I believe in cultivating an honest and secure relationship between myself and each client. We will pay attention to relevant interpersonal dynamics that present themselves throughout our therapeutic work. Our prior experiences and significant events greatly impact the way that we relate to others and connect to the world. This can make it difficult to be transparent and vulnerable in therapy. We will first work collaboratively to establish trust and set expectations for our therapeutic work.

I work with individuals and couples seeking growth and healing through uncovering thoughts, behaviors, and desires that hinder our connectedness and our efforts to experience life to the fullest.
"The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown" (Carl Jung). There are times in our life's journey where the path becomes difficult to traverse: depression, anxiety, and problems in our relationships can obstruct the view. Struggles with our circumstances, managing anger, coping with workplace stress, and existential questions are common challenges we face in life. I welcome the opportunity to journey along aside you in these challenges and together discover a richness that has been waiting to be revealed.

I specialize in working with couples dealing with break of trust, communication issues, and feeling disconnected.
Are you tired of feeling disconnected and alone in your relationship ? It feels like each time you communicate, both are left feeling hurt and not understood. Maybe deep down you feel sad but the anger and frustration is building. You start to question everything and fear conflict will never be resolved. You both feel stuck and are not sure how to get out of this cycle that just repeats itself over and over.

I practice client-centered therapy for couples , families and individuals using DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills training & coaching.
Life can be challenging, and often we can find ourselves at a point where we wonder how to go on. We get stuck, feel overwhelmed and discouraged and wonder what the next step is. No matter what your experience is at this time, if you feel like you can benefit from having a therapist collaborate with you to research stuck patterns and personal problems and create options for recovery and self-improvement, then consider contacting me.

There are seasons in life when direction from a professional can make a difference; in family relationships, peer relationships and marriage relationships. I believe in empowering people to become the best they can be by understanding from where they came. This awareness of your family of origin brings knowledge, and empowers you to work through the past and move forward to a more fulfilled life. Getting to know you and your concerns is the beginning of a therapeutic relationship which will allow me to assist in fostering your personal goals.

I believe the relationship between client and therapist is critical in understanding why certain things might cause you pain and to help facilitate growth and change that you want and need. Using a trauma-informed approach, I focus on the uncovering and expression of emotions and the integration of new insights into how you understand yourself in order to move forward in your journey of self-awareness. I feel that you are the expert of your own experience, and, therefore, collaboration between you and I in therapy is important to help you feel safe, empowered, and secure, in order to best work together to maximize your wellness.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles, build self awareness and enhance insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or within relational experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and behaviors. I specialize in treating women with perinatal disorders, infertility and relationship issues. I often work with individuals to enhance assertiveness, empowerment, and confidence

In addition to helping people solve anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, my special interests include working with people with chronic illness and infertility.
My style as a therapist is characterized by warmth, honesty, and a non-judgmental, open approach. I strive to help patients understand the nature of their problems and create solutions that can be brought about in a relatively short period of time. I use a range of interventions, including humanistic, existential and psychodynamic approaches. I encourage clients to consider their strengths, take an active role in psychotherapy, and practice positive change in their lives.

The primary approach I use for couples is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Do you feel disconnected from your partner ? Does it feel like you are often walking on egg shells when he/she is around? Are things starting to feel hopeless? My primary specialty is couple's therapy. I am committed to working with couples and helping them rediscover a safe and secure bond. This is a goal worth striving for: research has shown that secure connections with our romantic partners help us feel happier and more optimistic, reduces depression, and increases the quality of our lives.

As a clinician who specializes in relationship issues and self esteem, I am a focused, engaged and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and "fair") interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that past traumas play-out in our adult lives.

I have 12+ yrs treating anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, substance use, relationship conflicts, & infertility/pregnancy loss.
One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Part of our story is suffering. Emotional suffering may include anxiety, depression, grief, conflicts in relationships and trauma. For most of us, suffering is more than just one thing. As humans, we innately try to avoid suffering instead of confronting it. I want to guide you to understand, confront, and alleviate your suffering. The goal is to increase understanding of the self which leads to feelings of empowerment, courage, self-determination, hope, meaningfulness and freedom.

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.
