Life seems to always give you the short end of the stick. Caught in the thinking trap of wanting to be more but not being able to go forward. Struggling to find your place in the world. You catch yourself wondering, “Who am I and what do I want to be?” Looking for understanding and validation from the people closest to you has never worked out, because they don’t really hear what you’re saying or have the time to listen. You’ve been seen as the problem but feel there is more to you.

Hi, I am Carly! I have experience working with both individuals and couples. I particularly love working with couples as I put an emphasis on relationships and the importance they have in our life. I believe in the power of connection with others and that working together creates the best outcome in therapy and in life. I most often work from a solution focused perspective, but also pull from a positive psychology lens. I prefer a strength based approach that is going to help move you forward toward your life goals.

Feeling disconnected from your spouse or significant other? Or maybe you feel stuck in your relationship and don't know how to fix it? Nothing seems to help and you feel like lost on what to do. If you've been together a long time, it can feel like you've tried everything. Two motivated and committed people can figure it out together, sometimes you just need a little help. Perhaps you are seeing yourself fall into patterns that were modeled for you growing up and you don't want to go down that path.

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.
