Services
Premarital Counseling
Begin your marriage on the right foot with tailored premarital counseling.
Sex Therapy
I work with partners who are experiencing sexual dysfunction, stigmas or troubles that affect their daily lives.
Relationship Therapy
I help couples discover underlying feelings so they can better understand each other’s needs and desires and enhance emotional intimacy by fostering a secure, supportive bond.
When conflicts arise, I guide couples in navigating them with empathy, transforming challenges into opportunities for deeper connection.
Discernment Counseling
A short-term, focused process tailored for partners who are considering divorce, separation, or ending their relationship but are not completely sure it’s the best path forward.
Non-Monogamous Relationships
I also specialize in working with partners in non-monogamous relationships cultivate strong connections, disrupt harmful patterns, and communicate more effectively
What’s the first step?
No phone tag, no back and forth, just book a short Zoom call with me so I can learn more about you and your relationship (all partners seeking counseling should be a part of this call).
Do you have in-person availability?
Yes, only the initial call is virtual, after that you can come to our office at 2002 Atwood Avenue. We can also do a combination of in-person and virtual to meet your needs.
What are counseling sessions like?
The first few sessions involve understanding the history of your relationship, getting more information about the concerns you have, and meeting with each partner individually. After that, sessions focus on helping you interact and relate with your partner in new and different ways that help you connect and feel more emotionally intimate, safe, and secure.
How often and how long will we meet?
While each relationship has unique needs, the majority of people meet with me weekly, or once every other week. The duration of work is flexible, with the goal being that you put into practice the skills and methods that we are using in session. There is no set number of sessions or session limit.
