In both individual and couples work, I provide psychotherapy that is informed by more than 30 years of the study and practice of developmental human growth and development.
Adult individuals, male, female and non-binary who are seeking meaning in his, her, they or their life. An individual that is likely to feel that they have put themselves on a intended path and have kept to it but something doesn't feel right. This person is experiencing unexplained discontent, accentuated with expressions of anxiety and or depression that have prompted the decision to see a therapist. This person or people (in the case of couples) is/are seeking to understand the meaning of this internal expression in their life. I can also assist individuals seeking to integrate a plant medicine enhanced journey into daily life.

My area of emphasis is grief and loss - although I work with all populations to include: parenting, childhood and adolescent issues, school performance, couples and family issues, as well as, life coaching.
What do you want your life to stand for? What holds you back? What thoughts, memories or experiences are gripping you like a weight and pulling you down or keeping you from doing the things that matter most in this life? Whether you are a child or an adult, each of these questions has meaning. As living, breathing and feeling human beings we go through this "Life" journey encountering and experiencing many glimpses of happiness, as well as, tastes of struggle. These experiences in our "Life" journey are shared from childhood to old age.

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.
