As a marriage and family therapist, I am well-trained and experienced in finding commonalities and resolutions between couples. My goal is to help couples understand the misunderstood, speak the unspoken, improve communication, and discover hope from hopelessness.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I use the four (or more) session model for relationship counseling. For the first session I meet with all the partners to establish what issues brought them to counseling. Then in the second and third (or more) sessions I meet with each partner individually so that they can say things to me that they don't want to say in front of their partner(s) and then for the fourth session I meet with all the partners together to review what I have learned and lay out my proposed treatment moving forward. I have found this method to be very effective, especially when compared to strictly relationship sessions.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships are central to knowing who we are and thus have an enormous impact on our mental health. We often downplay to ourselves that frequent or underlying problems in our relationships are "enough" to feel anxious, sad, or angry about. As a result we often misplace the source of distress solely upon personal failings. Much of my work focuses on helping you clarify what you want and need relationally, working out what is making it hard to communicate those wants and needs, and empowering you to try some new things with your loved ones.

Psychologist, PhD
I recognize how central relationships are to one’s health and well-being. I also understand how painful it can be when we have difficulties establishing or maintaining relationships or when we have difficulties in a particular relationship. The ability to maintain harmonious personal connections is not necessarily easy. Because of its inherent difficulty, many people encounter high levels of relational stress and may even experience a complete cut off from others.
The good news is that even though developing meaningful and healthy relationships requires a specific set of skills, which can be learned. Those who can improve their style of communication can bring about profound improvement in the level of closeness, support and satisfaction in their relationships and consequently experience greater happiness in their lives.
I can work with you to provide the tools necessary to improve communication and establish more intimate connections. I begin by examining your patterns of interactions to determine what is causing or maintaining your interpersonal conflicts or leaving you feeling detached. Next, I will guide you through practices that will teach you how to improve your relationship style and connections with others.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide couples therapy to partners who want to deepen their relationship and overcome challenges. In some cases, an event has shaken the relationship; in others, couples want to work on making their bond the best it can be. Marriage counseling can make a huge difference, whether there are significant issues or just a feeling that things could be (or have been) better. Marriage counseling and relationship therapy often shows relatively fast results.
