Couples Counseling
Common Challenges Couples Face:
Many couples I work with are dealing with issues such as:
- Frequent spells of arguing
- Feeling unheard or misunderstood
- A loss of the closeness they once shared
- Repetitive conversations that never lead to resolution
- Stress from parenting or extended family dynamics
If any of these concerns sound familiar, you’re not alone. I provide a safe space to explore these challenges and work toward lasting change.
My Approach
During this process, I also assess for any underlying issues such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, or addictions that could be contributing to relationship difficulties. Addressing these deeper concerns often helps resolve surface-level issues like arguments or a lack of communication.
Once we’ve identified and cleared these obstacles, we can focus on rebuilding your connection. This might involve learning active listening skills, setting aside time to reconnect, or developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner.
A Compassionate Path Forward:
My hope is to help couples rebuild their relationships and meet each other’s needs. But if staying together isn’t possible, I’m here to support you in parting ways with love and respect, so that both individuals can move forward in a healthy way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Offer Telehealth Counseling?
Yes. I am now offering mental health counseling services via telehealth, which means over the phone (landline), cellphone, (including face-to-face), and also over a HIPAA approved, secure platform, which will work over computer or smartphone as well. Learn more here.
How Much Does A Session Cost?
Privately paying offers some benefits, such as that an insurance company or other entity is less likely to obtain access to any information about you. I charge the average rate, which is $195.00 for an initial intake assessment session, $135 per session thereafter for individuals, or $145 per session hour for couples.
I am empaneled with most insurance companies and with a number of Employee Assistance programs. Thus, what you will pay depends upon your situation. EAPs often pay for a very limited number of sessions, 1-6 typically, and there is no out of pocket cost to the client. If you use your health insurance, you may pay about $15.00 up to about $40.00 copayment for each session.
A few insurances do not have copays at all. You can find out how yours works by calling the number on the back of you insurance card under “Mental Health Benefits”, or under “Customer Care”.Your health insurance company’s website may also explain your benefits to you.

What Happens In The First Session?
How Many Sessions Are Necessary?
I always review with my client when they feel that they are doing better, or when they have reached their hoped-for objective. Sometimes, my clients opt to move forward on working on another issue or try out the use of some other modality.
