Finding the right therapeutic fit is important for meaningful progress.For couples, I work best with partners who are both willing to invest in improving their relationship, even if things feel difficult right now. If there has been infidelity, I ask that both partners are committed to repairing the relationship and that the affair has ended with no ongoing contact with the other person. Continuing contact often makes it much more difficult to rebuild trust and move forward in therapy.At this time, couples therapy may not be appropriate if there is active domestic violence or an untreated substance use disorder, as those concerns typically need specialized treatment first.For individuals, I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, and personal growth. Therapy tends to be most effective for clients who are open to self-reflection, willing to take accountability, and ready to explore new perspectives. My practice may not be the best fit for individuals with active addiction, severe anger management concerns, recent psychiatric hospitalization requiring a higher level of care, or those who are not yet ready to engage in the therapeutic process.If I'm not the best fit, I'm happy to help point you toward resources or providers that may better meet your needs.
