Couples Counseling

“Underneath all the distress partners are asking each other: Can I count on you, depend on you? Are you there for me? Will you respond to me when I need, when I call? Do I matter to you? Am I valued and accepted by you? Do you need me, rely on me?" ~Dr. Sue Johnson.

​

No matter the conflict that your relationship or marriage is facing; affairs, financial difficulty, problems sexually; that conflict is never the reason why the relationship is failing. I work to show couples that they are no longer dancing beautifully because of a negative cycle that promotes decreased: affection, emotional responsiveness, and sense of security. 

​

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I work to help couples create a new, healthier cycle of communication and interaction. 

​

Individual Therapy

We often convince ourselves that we're alone in our experiences and that reaching out to others will lead to rejection.

"No one feels the way I do. No one will understand and if I tried to make them understand, they'll leave me. People only stick around because I'm the fun friend. I have to be perfect or no one will love me."

This narrative can develop into a never ending cycle of negative self talk and low self-esteem. There's no relationship more important than the relationship we have with ourselves and that too can take work. 

I have experience working with: exploring sexual/gender identity, life transitions, childhood or relational trauma, self-esteem issues as well as grief and loss. 

​

Family Therapy

Adult children and parents often struggle in their relational transition. Whether it's due to conflict that was never resolved in childhood, differences in parenting styles as adults or just disagreements on how life should be lived, it can all lead to a breakdown of healthy communication. 

Wherever you and your grown family find themselves, I work with families as a team to unfold insight and understanding around feelings of rejection, abandonment, hurt, and detachment that each family member is experiencing. This is in order to show family members that conflict can actually be a plea for emotional reengagement.

Together we can work to increase effective communication, repair old wounds and build a new relationship. 

Fees 

My standard session cost is $150 per session. 

I also provide a sliding scale based on income and household expenses that slides as low as $100.
