As a therapist specializing in marital, premarital, and relationship issues, I assist individuals in navigating relationship challenges, exploring underlying issues, and offering tools to address conflict, rebuild trust, and cultivate intimacy. Creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I empower individuals to heal from past wounds, strengthen their relationships, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling partnership.
Caring enough about our intimate relationships requires that we tend to the needs of ourselves and important others so that we may grow in our connections.
Relational difficulties are not uncommon. By working collaboratively I can help with enhancing your relationship satisfaction, better your communication, create trust, and rekindle intimacy and closeness with your partner.
Relationship or marriage issues can significantly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, constant conflicts or a lack of emotional support in a relationship can worsen feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and emotional distress. This, in turn, may exacerbate addictive behaviors or contribute to depressive symptoms. My approach would involve providing a safe and non-judgmental space for the individual to explore their relationship challenges and their impact on their mental well-being. We would work together to identify underlying issues, improve communication skills, and develop strategies to address relationship difficulties, ultimately promoting healthier relationships and improved emotional well-being.

In therapy for relationship and marital issues, I provide support to couples to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond. This involves creating a safe and respectful space for both partners to express their feelings and concerns. Through communication exercises and conflict resolution techniques, we work on improving communication skills and addressing underlying issues. I also help couples rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and rediscover shared values and goals. The goal is to foster healthier patterns of interaction and enhance overall relationship satisfaction.
We will explore the circumstances and habits that have led to disruption in your relationship and work to gain better interpersonal skills to increase the level of commitment, support, and love within the relationship.
I am committed to helping couples cultivate strong and fulfilling partnerships. Whether you're seeking to enrich your relationship, navigate challenges, or rebuild trust, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your concerns and deepen your connection.
I want to help couples learn to bring the love, the affection, the spark back, get unstuck, communicate better, get back on track and thrive as a couple! I especially look forward to work with Twin Flames, reaching and staying in union!
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find {with awareness and compassion} all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Rumi So much of my work with couples comes back to this quote. When we are aware of those barriers within ourselves we can get a lot further a lot faster than details of daily life that so quickly distract us from our true work.

Are you stressed out? And is it getting harder to "just not think about it?" I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or couple's therapy, we can work together to achieve the goals you've wanted, but have felt out of reach.
Not all couples come into counseling because of a crisis in their relationship. Many clients that I see describe a parallel functioning to their relationship- almost like 2 ships sailing on parallel paths but not really every connecting. There are few things more painful that being lonely when you are not alone but with a partner. Therapy can help to address that and to give you the skills and understanding to make changes in your relationship.
I am an eclectic therapist who utilizes multiple modes of therapy including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing approaches in order to create a personalized, client centered experience.
Highly focused on both the individual in the marriage and the unit as a separate entity. Direct, open and honest communication is used as a mirror for healthy yet honorable communication between all parties involved. I look at the CORE issues in the relationship struggle which supercedes ineffective communication skills.
Relationships are hard. They can be complicated as people try and figure out intimacy, sex, and conflict. Growing up in different homes with different families and rules can lead to unspoken assumptions that sabotage happiness. Luckily, there are very effective couples counseling techniques to reconnect and find a way to a better future.

People often turn to relationship and marriage counseling when they're facing tough times in their partnership. It could be because of problems with talking things out, old fights that never got resolved, trust being broken, cheating, feeling distant, or just dealing with big life changes. These issues can really mess with your emotions and make the relationship feel shaky. In therapy, I'd help both partners learn how to talk to each other better, rebuild trust, and tackle any emotional blocks that are getting in the way of feeling close. We'd also figure out ways to deal with arguments and handle big life changes together. The aim is to make the relationship stronger, boost how you both feel, and make things feel good again.
