I prioritize empowering clients to navigate their own journeys, helping them identify what best meets their needs and nurtures their comfort.
In addition to couples who are struggling to communicate, manage conflict or heal from hurtful incidents, I also frequently work with premarital couples who are looking to build a strong foundation for their upcoming marriage and individuals who are plagued by persistent symptoms of anxiety or trauma.
Communicating with your partner can sometimes seem like you're speaking two different languages. Neither of you feels heard or understood and the conflicts never really get resolved. We'll work collaboratively to build helpful conflict resolution skills and practice communication that fosters the connection you may feel is waning in your relationship.
I've had the opportunity to train in Gottman Method, Prepare Enrich and many other therapeutic modalities. Rather than strictly adhere to one particular model, I utilize my full collection of training and 19 years of experience to personalize sessions to my client's individual needs.

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.
