I enjoy doing marital and premarital couples counseling, helping couples learn how to communicate more effectively and be kinder to each other. I also strive to help my clients in making meaning from adversity, feeling better about themselves and being better in relationships. Those who grow more quickly also enjoy learning and are open to honest but caring feedback.

Mr. Poles has been excellent. I was a doubter of therapy to begin with. But i have found real value in my discussions with him. The resources (reading and podcasts) have been "on the money." I genuinely feel like they were written for me.
