Couples therapy provides a safe and intimate location for you and your significant other to focus on building a strong and healthy relationship. I will walk with you through your therapeutic passage of growing together, uncovering new aspects of each other, building positive communication and discovering the love and relationship you never knew existed.
Let’s face it…being in a committed long-term relationship can be hard. Arguments can be recurring. Distance can take up too much space between you to where you feel like nothing but roommates. I can help you reconnect and find the love for each other again, or help you resolve your disagreements, learn how to fight productively, or heal betrayals or resentments.
I have over 15 years experience supporting clients from a holistic and integrative framework focused on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I work with my clients as a guide and a teacher to help facilitate change and the ability to cope with the many life stressors and challenges that we all face such as work-life balance, parenting, depression, anxiety, anger management, multicultural and diversity needs, skill development, and more. I am here as a resource for you to ensure you have the care and services that you need!
As a relationship therapist, I incorporate the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach in helping couples and families reconnect and rebuild relational balance. I am passionate in assisting couples with filtering through their individual feelings to encourage empathic responses during moments of distress or conflict. I have a strong desire to support parents of children with special needs that have disconnected emotionally due to the required attention needed to support their child.
While no relationship is perfect, good relationships can be the source of great joy and fulfillment. If you can get curious about your own reactions, all of your relationships have the chance to improve tremendously, including the most important one—your relationship with yourself.
All relationships take work. If your back is against the wall and you're facing a fork in the road, before you walk away bring in a third party to help you explore issues in your relationship, work on communication, improve interactions and fight fair.

Relationship is a core part of being human. When relationships are stressful, life can become overwhelming. Sometimes, the problem can be that we've gotten onto auto-pilot in our relationships. We can stop being curious and begin assuming we know what's happening with ourselves and the other. My goal in relationship or couple's counseling is to re-awaken curiosity and compassion as well as to create intention and mindfulness. I enjoy helping build communication skills as well as exploring the ways that each person's history influences how that person functions in relationship. Whether or not the relationship continues, my goal is for my clients to understand themselves and each other better and to be able to make informed decisions about the direction for themselves and their relationship.
