Wondering if you're in the right relationship
It's not all bad, of course. But sometimes you find yourself questioning, "Is it me, or is it the relationship?" Is it too good to leave, but too bad to stay? And if you have kids, is it fair to them to divorce just because you aren't happy?
Feeling alone even though you are in a relationship
You once shared hours of deep conversations, but now you sit side by side, scrolling through your phones in silence.
Avoiding talking to each other, because what’s the point?

In my couples counseling sessions, I believe that effective therapy doesn't have to take a long time. I focus on listening to your goals, which often include improving communication and increasing both physical and emotional intimacy. While each couple is unique, many fall into predictable patterns that can create conflict. I help you identify these dynamics and provide tried and true solutions to move forward. By understanding and addressing these patterns, we work together to create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. My goal is to equip you with practical tools and insights to achieve the relationship you desire.

Get to work
Learning to improve your relationship is like learning a foreign language. You wouldn’t expect to become fluent after just a few classes. You need to show up, participate, and reflect between sessions. All the insights you gain won't help until you put them into action.

See change
The one person you can control is you. People frequently seek therapy hoping their partner will change. This "I won't change unless they do" mentality keeps you stuck. Couples counseling is about understanding and changing your own behavior. Trust that your partner is doing their best too.
