Are you talking about starting a family, your life with a baby, toddler or small children? Whether planned now or later, the reality of becoming and being parents is life changing. Have the two of you shared your expectations and visions of family life? Do you know when you will be ready, who will do what, and how this fits with your personal needs and goals? Parenting is emotionally rewarding and demanding, and requires team work. How are you doing with each other, understanding differences in your experiences and needs? This is an opportunity to strengthen your loving relationship.

I specialize in working with clients currently navigating the challenges of early family life such as pregnancy, postpartum, relationship distress, parents who would like to parent differently than they experienced growing up, families experiencing behavioral difficulties with their children, and more.
I empower clients to experience the best version of their relationships, support clients through family transitions, and assist parents in becoming the type of caregiver they wish to become. These goals can be met through a variety of methods including individual therapy, pregnant and postpartum support, couples therapy, parenting support, family therapy, and premarital counseling. Navigating the nuances of family life can be extremely challenging which is why I take a client-centered and unique approach to each person whom I have the honor of walking with in their journey.

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.
