Many couples ask themselves this question. Often times, couples wait a long time before asking for help from a therapist. Time itself won’t fix a problem. In fact, it is much more common to see that over time and without effective intervention, the problem worsens. Couples counseling/therapy is a term that covers a vast array of services including premarital counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling and divorce/discernment counseling.

Families are relational in nature. Many families face hard times and struggles. If you find yourself wanting change in the relationship, it is likely you would benefit from family therapy. Having a professional help you navigate to a healthier place can allow you to get back to stability and connection.

This answer is complex and unique to each situation. At the start, we will work together to develop a therapy treatment plan, which will guide us in determining the end goal. Sometimes, it can take a little longer to get to the end goal. Other times, it is reached earlier. Every situation is unique and deserves the attention and dedication necessary for effective and lasting change.

I believe that every person, family and couple is capable of positive change. In order for therapy to be effective, all individuals need to be invested and committed in therapy. When you are given homework or interventions to do at home, it is important that you make an effort to complete them. Like other therapies, you get out what you put in.

I do not take insurance. I am happy to provide you with a monthly Superbill that you can submit to your insurance to be reimbursed for each session at the “Out of Network” rate. I suggest you call your insurance provider to look into your Out of Network benefits and if this service would be eligible for reimbursement.

Insurance companies can be very difficult to work with. They often see family therapy and couples therapy as less necessary than individual therapy. I cannot be more opposed to this belief. Family and couples therapy help with human connection, which is vital for each and every one of us to live happy and healthy lives.

You are investing in something that can change your relationship and your life for the better. Often times, the legal costs of divorce can greatly outweigh the costs of therapy. The outcomes between therapy and divorce can also be very different. I am willing to work with you on how often we meet so that it can lower the financial impact.

Absolutely! I work to create a safe and supportive environment for all couples, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender expression. I also recognize that LGBTQ+ couples and families face unique stressors and challenges that need to be honored and respected in therapy.
