If you and your partner are struggling with communication, you might feel like no matter how hard you try, any conversation you have about anything serious just turns into an argument.

Or, perhaps you’re feeling emotionally wounded by something like an affair, and you don’t know how you can ever heal from it and move on.

Maybe your relationship is struggling in the intimacy department, and you don’t know how to get back to enjoying a fulfilling sex life.

Things may be so bad that you’re considering breaking up or divorcing, but you’re concerned about the impact such a decision will have on your children.

Couples Therapy Can Get You ‘Unstuck’
If any of these concerns are resonating with you and your relationship, know that you are not stuck like this. I will help you get unstuck.
I will teach you and your partner to express your wants and needs in a clear and respectful way. I will help you understand why the hurtful things happened so that you can hopefully get assurance that it won’t happen again.
I’ll facilitate the uncomfortable conversations about sex and intimacy and empower you and your partner to have these conversations on your own so that you eventually don’t need my help.
And, if it comes down to it, I will help you navigate the challenges of ending the relationship so you and your children can make it through safely and eventually happily.

Specially trained in Couples Counseling — Specially Trained in Couples Counseling
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have been trained specifically to work with couples together in addition to working with individuals. I make it a priority to hear and honor both sides. I also like to use the Gottman Method when applicable.
Sometimes referred to as couples therapy - or even marriage counseling - the bottom line is helping you both find more happiness.
Additionally, I am certified in Sex Therapy by the American Academy of Clinical Sexology, which enables me to better navigate the sensitive topic of intimacy.
I have been working with couples for over 7 years, which gives me a good bit of experience with many different couples’ issues, but at the same time leaves me open-minded enough to continually learn from the couples I work with.
