During our sessions, you can expect to gain valuable insight into your relationship patterns, explore strategies to reduce the impact of anxiety on your life, and integrate a supportive narrative to navigate past traumatic experiences.
You are not alone in your struggles. In a world that often stigmatizes therapy as something only 'crazy' people do, it's crucial to recognize that seeking help is a brave and empowering choice. Quality therapy has the power to transform your life in ways you may never have imagined. It's an investment in yourself—a step towards reclaiming control over your feelings, relationships, and future. If you're tired of feeling like external forces dictate your emotions, walking on eggshells in your relationships, being overly critical of yourself, or feeling trapped by your past, therapy can offer a path towards healing and growth.

This approach makes me particularly successful in my work with people struggling with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, addictions and harm reduction (including gambling, love and sexual addictions, work), anxiety, mood disorders, codependency, anger management and dual diagnoses.
I can help you find your way through whatever is troubling you. You may be struggling with your personal or professional relationships, or with entrenched patterns that hold you back from achieving desired goals or dreams. In our work together, I will be dedicated to helping you better understand yourself and challenge old behaviors to enable you to make the emotional and practical changes you seek. My presence is felt in my warmth, openness and emotionally available style of connecting. I pay close attention to the re-enactment of embedded patterns that emerge and help you re-work them.

When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a gay therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable.

As a relational therapist, I am deeply passionate to support individuals, families, and couples as they navigate life transitions and different experiences that impact connection with oneself and/or with one another. I strongly believe in the power of resilience (capacity to recover from any impact) and finding growth in the midst of challenges. I also believe, that sometimes finding the openings for growth are not so visible or accessible to our perception and therapy can support expanding that vision.

Starting therapy requires bravery and vulnerability. As someone who has been on both sides of the equation – clinician and client – I want to make this act of courage on your part as comfortable as possible. I know what it feels like to share my experiences with a clinician and have them respond back to me with kindness, openness, and acceptance – sometimes simply by saying “You went through all that? Me too.” As your therapist, I’ll work with you to identify any thoughts, behaviors, emotions, or limiting beliefs preventing you from living a meaningful, joyful life.

Therapy is a collaboration toward your healing and self-exploration. Finding the right person who is attuned and able to respond to your needs is essential. My approach is, above all else, to be with you with thoughtful attention and curiosity. The ways we listen to you together will uncover your natural ability to nourish healthy aspects of the self, and transform wounded or stuck parts. These fragmentations often result in anxiety, depression, creative blocks, issues with self esteem or relationships. I also see couples with difficulties in conflict, communicating, and understanding the other.

My work with adults and couples is oriented to help them to gain insight into repetitive patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to unproductive patterns of conflict, feeling unfulfilled, anxious or depressed.
I work from a psychodynamic approach that enlists the breadth of your unique experience, and offers the opportunity to work through emotional complications, anxieties and obstacles that diminish a sense of conviction, engagement and passion in love and work. Having practiced for over twenty years and in that time also worked as an organizational consultant, I also offer particular insight into issues related to work-life balance, career progression, work stress and career anxieties.

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.
