Over 28 years, I have been privileged to partner with many who are seeking relief from emotional pain.
Feelings that result from experiences in life are unique to each person, and they each deserve a partner to work through their difficulties. My specialization is in assisting individuals who are dealing with feelings resulting from loss or traumatic experiences, whether recently or long ago. It has been shown that trauma is commonly experienced by individuals who survive a loved one's death by suicide or other violence, the death of a child, or any unexpected death. Also, many suffer grief or internal conflict from other life experiences such as miscarriage, infertility, and other transitions in life (aging, retirement, divorce.)

I understand that you might feel hesitant or uncertain about KAP, but I am happy to consult with you to address possible concerns or fears you might have and explore how KAP can be beneficial to you and/or your relationship.
You feel stuck. You might know what is going on for you and why, but there is something that keeps you from moving forward in your life. You have resigned that your depression, anxiety, or the impacts of your trauma will be part of your life indefinitely. You might recognize the patterns in your relationship that keep creating or maintaining issues, but it has been hard to interrupt those or to take the step that requires a little more vulnerability. Traditional talk therapy and/or medication may have helped, but not enough. It may be time to try something different.

Couples coaching can help break the cycle.
As a couple, you may be struggling to communicate and connect. Criticism, blaming, and keeping score may be the norm, leaving you emotionally siloed. Maybe you are questioning whether your partner can grow or care for you in the ways you need. In sessions, we do not simply rehash the last fight or argue over who is more wrong. Instead, let’s bring ease back to your relationship with practical skills to connect better and recover from conflict more quickly. As a Gottman Method level three practitioner, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach that addresses repetitive communication problems while building trust and connection.

Waitlist for new clients
In 1993 I became a licensed Professional Counselor. I have since been associated with a small group of like-minded therapists creating a people-friendly environment. My office is like a "living area" for private conversations. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families who seek to move through seemingly intimidating, hopelessly discouraging or simply perplexing life stages. Common themes - job loss, rejection, betrayal of trust, letting go, shame, guilt and self-acceptance - even old emotional scars limiting part of one's personality are all compelling challenges. I will face them with you.

My approach is first to provide a safe space for you to discuss what brings you here. From there we can tailor an approach that's best for you and your goals.

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.
