I just don’t understand you.
You’re not listening to me.
Our connection isn’t what it used to be.
So many interactions end in conflict.
What are we doing wrong?
Relationships can be confusing, messy, and downright hard. They are difficult to navigate. Finding the right solution that fits your needs seems like trial and error – with each attempt leaving you disheartened and frustrated.
But, relationships can be more rewarding than any other experience in life. You feel richer and enjoy life when you and those you care about are in sync. If you are here with an important relationship in mind, then you have taken the first step to be closer to those you love.
I welcome you!
Being in a relationship means sharing a special bond with a person that cannot be replicated with anyone else. A special bond requires regular maintenance to grow but with specific tools and practice. Relationships take work.
​
Couples therapy and family therapy provide the necessary tools and practice through specialized, collaborative work. Just as you would trust an architect when building a secure house, you can trust a marriage and family therapist when building a secure relationship. To transform your relationship, contact me. I am here to support you and those you love grow stronger together.

What to Expect
What happens during the initial consultation? A: Our initial phone consultation is a brief, no-pressure conversation where we discuss your primary concerns and goals for therapy. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions about the Magnus Approach and for us to determine if we are a good fit for your specific needs.
How do I prepare for my first therapy session? A: You don't need to bring anything specific to your first session. We recommend finding a quiet, private space if you are meeting virtually. The first session is primarily about "intake," where we gather your history and begin building a customized treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle.
Is therapy at Magnus Mental Health confidential? A: Yes. Protecting your privacy is our top priority. All discussions within our sessions are strictly confidential, with the exception of specific legal requirements related to safety, which we will review together during your intake process.
