Although I don't pretend to be able to save every relationship (run away from any counselor who says they can!) my couples counseling clients offer regular and ample feedback that I am compassionate, real, practical, direct, effective and fun. ( Yes, fun. Counseling doesn't have to be a gloomy experience!
) I have been told by many couples that working with me is the first thing they’ve tried that has actually helped.
My clients often say things like...
"We were nervous to come for couples counseling, but we feel really relaxed and comfortable with you.”
“You’re so easy to talk to! You actually listen and get it.”
“I thought I would be embarrassed to tell you ______, but I just feel relieved.”
“I know you care about me.”
“Thanks for being honest with me. It’s hard to hear, but it’s what I need.”
“I never thought I woul d laugh so much in therapy.” (I really like it when clients tell me that)
Together, we can help you find the harmony, trust, respect and joy that healthy relationships can bring.
