Are you feeling down or stuck in your relationship or marriage? Perhaps you are overwhelmed and not even sure what is going on. I get it. I have been in such relationships, and even in a bad marriage. There may be abuse going on, though there does not need to be to seek out support. I offer a complimentary session so we can talk a little bit about what is going on and if counseling with me can help you. Life is too short to not resolve whatever it is that is bringing you down and causing you stress and unhappiness. I hope you will reach out and schedule a complimentary session. Let's find out how I can help you.
I offer couples counseling for married and non-married couples alike to help repair, restore, and/or build a more adaptive relationship. I also work with individual relationship concerns as we work to understand some of the patterns that create distress when relating with others. For example, do you find yourself enduring the same pattern of conflict, fear of rejection, and consistent breakups in your relationships with partners? We can work to understand this pattern. I also work with sexual concerns.
Are you tired of fighting with your partner and frustrated with not getting your needs met?
These Often Leads To:
Infidelity – one of the partners being sexual outside the relationship
Financial Issues – couples with trouble communicating often don’t talk about money
Sexual Difficulties – struggling to connect sexually or getting your sexual needs met.
Intimacy Issues – Not feeling emotionally connected with your partner
Relationship issues happen because your needs or the needs of the other person are not getting met.
The key to resolving relationship issues starts with both of you getting your needs met.
I help clients do this in 4 steps:
1. Get familiar with your emotions, for example, happiness, sadness, anger and fear.
Your emotions are information that tell you how you’re doing and whether or not your needs are being met.
2. Get familiar with your needs. What is it you’re needing? Is it more communication? Integrity? Consideration? Support? Etc.
3. Ask for what you want. Once you know what you need, ask for what you want. Be as specific as possible. Your partner can’t read your mind so it’s often helpful if you’re direct about what you want.
4. Connect more deeply with your partner. Once you get clear on your feelings and needs, it becomes much easier to empathize and understand your partners feelings and needs more and more.
You can then ask them how you can help them meet their needs, and support them.
Following these 4 steps allows partners in a relationship to come back together in connection and understanding.
When we see that we both have feelings and needs, and how we can help each other meet our needs, we can move through conflict and come back into healthy relationship with each other.

Difficulty in adult relationships is often rooted in childhood experiences. The relationship between a child and adult caregivers creates a map for how that child understands relationships. If these relationships were strained, it can make relationships in adulthood feel very difficult if not impossible.
I work with couples to help improve their communication so that they can better understand one another and appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to create a safe place where each person is heard and validated for who they are. We explore the value that the relationship provides to each person and work to strengthen the connection by creating behaviors that join each other together.
