As a marriage and family therapist, I find a great deal of joy in helping individuals and families to get to a happier and better place.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed and stressed? With various challenges that adolescents or young adults need to face every day, it is inevitable to carry burden and pressure that sometimes gets out of control. The reality is that many people in the young generations need to deal with different expected and unexpected setbacks. The lack of skills of handling them lead to deeper issues.

Many of my clients are Evangelical Christians who are struggling with the realities of marriage and life.
I have heard it said that it only takes one therapist to change a light bulb, but the light bulb has to really want to change. Naturally, my best results are with motivated people who realize their current patterns aren't working and are willing to try something different. I have experience with adolescents, adults and mature adults. While my religious background is Christian, my clients come from all religious backgrounds, and sexual orientations. My intention is to walk the talk and my experience as a husband of 40 years, a father, and a grandfather, add to my therapeutic offering.

Marriage Counseling Therapists

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?

Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?

Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?

Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
