Having felt stuck and lost many times throughout my own journey, and now having had the honor of walking alongside many others who have felt the same way, I am committed to using evidence based counseling practices that help adult clients and couples, fully engage with life as it is, while continuing to grow towards that which they truly value.
Life is full of challenges and opportunities to grow. When we feel safe and secure enough to be honest with ourselves and others about what we are experiencing and what we truly value, we are more likely to be able to overcome challenges and live a more fulfilling and peaceful life. Most of us want authentic meaningful relationships, to embrace all that life has to offer, to be able to manage and learn from mistakes and difficult times, and to live a life that we can one day look back on and feel content and proud. However, often we find ourselves feeling stuck or lost along that journey and in need of some support and connection.

I work with both individuals and couples.
My desire is to guide clients to hope and healing amidst the stress and pain that life can bring. I understand that seeking help and creating change can be uncomfortable but counseling can be a safe place to express hurts and find solutions and ways to cope. My belief is that we are relational beings and that the people we interact with greatly impact our thoughts and behaviors. I am passionate about helping my clients to find peace from the events that have hurt them and enhance the daily living and current relationships.

If you (or your spouse) are a little leery of coming to see a counselor, or if you've been in therapy before and had a "not so wonderful" experience, let me assure you that what I offer is likely very different than what you're expecting.
I believe a good counselor works their way out of a job...one client at a time. We all get "stuck" in life from time to time. My goal is to provide you with knowledge, tools, guidance, and support so that you can get "unstuck" and move on. Therapy is not magic...but it works. If you are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational problems I would like the opportunity to visit with you to see if I can help.

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.
