NOT ALL RELATIONSHIP HELP IS THE SAME
Finding help for your relationship can be hard work. On the surface, a counselor is a counselor. Turns out, couples counseling is a speciality. That means it requires extensive additional training after you get a license to counsel.
Good news! I’ve done this work.
Not to toot my own horn, but… I have a PhD in Clincical Sexology, an LCSW and nearly 30 years of experience working exclusively with couples, and more training than is probably reasonable: Gottman Method (all three levels), Certified Imago Therapist, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Discernment Counseling, and Board Certified Clinical Sexologist. (Toot toot.) Oh, and I read relationship research for fun.
I have been called “direct,” “no-nonsense,” and in more challenging scenarios “a heat-seeking laser” and “a two-by-four.” Don’t let that scare you, though; I also love humor – and making room for levity and lightness. We need both. Work and play. Balance. Lightness and depth. I like to work with your whole selves, where you both feel comfortable being yourselves, however that unfolds from session to session.
I like to hit the ground running as soon as we meet. We won’t spend an entire session going over your history. I keep things real. I want to know you, understand you, and support you in doing the same for each other. I delight in your connection, your aha moments, your finding understanding, repair, and forgiveness.
I’m ready to get to work when you are.
