We specialize in couples counseling. Our approach is one which acknowledges the emotional aspect of both individuals. We listen intently and provide a critical analysis so that all involved have a clear understanding of the issue and where there is possible miscommunication. We have found that there are typically areas in which both individuals can improve, and we focus on where those areas of improvement are needed. We also understand the delicate nature of couples counseling in that each is typically passionate in their own beliefs. We are very skilled communicators in getting buy in to where personal growth is needed.

Relationships are the most intense roller coaster we will ever get on in our life. With them comes the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Learning how to keep the love during those lows is one of the hardest things in any relationship. Learning how to effectively communicate your needs to your partner is a tool that is invaluable. You will need to learn these skills if you desire to get through the tough times.

It is my goal in couples counseling and marriage counseling to provide each couple with new problem solving tools, teaching emotional regulation and how to stay calm during conflict, a more effective communication style, and to increase overall connectedness and stability in the relationship. Even if only one partner is willing to participate in counseling, this will bring change and can assist in changing the dynamics of the relationship and bring more harmony.

We are never more vulnerable than when we give the gift of our self to another, to form a couple. Our interactions can turn into negative patterns that are hard to break on our own. We help couples identify what contributes to these patterns. We explore what each person thinks a good relationship looks like and what barriers may be currently in the way of achieving that view. By focusing not on what needs to be changed in our partner but what we can change in ourselves, we can help the couple see what they can do better together, than they could do as individuals on their own. If each person can gain a better understanding of themselves, they can learn to live more in harmony with the other.

My practice includes Couples Counseling, Premarital Counseling, & Marital Counseling. In addition to being a Clinical Psychotherapist/Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. The Prepare/Enrich program provides several unique benefits for clients regardless of how long the clients have been together as a couple. Utilizing this program, the couple completes an initial comprehensive online assessment that both partners complete independently. Results from the proprietary assessment identify, describe, & quantify a couple's risk factors. The program is also adaptable to allow for time to focus on specific problem areas where a couple tends to struggle.

Relationships can be so hard and can feel easily disconnected. It takes maintenance and work to continue a healthy relationship. Just because you are fighting does not mean your relationship is bad or dysfunctional. It is about how you both can get through conflict together that makes the difference. Therapy can help you better communicate and connect with each other. Validation, empathy, and intimacy are key components to a relationship. One of my passions is to help you have a better relationship.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

Stepping up - creating a well connected, safe and giving relationship creates healthy intimacy. When partners fail to open up, share and "take their best shot" at mutual caring and interpersonal growth, they often stagnate and drift apart. Couples therapy should provide a dynamic and fun platform that creates, trust, communication and proven techniques that supply new clarity and connection. You'll find each of these here. I will be honored to journey to that special place with you!

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?
