Marriage Counseling Therapists in Ventura, CA

If you’re feeling stuck, afraid, lost, or hopeless, you don’t have to go through it alone. Maybe hopelessness is a new feeling for you, or maybe it’s all too familiar. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck in your marriage or relationship, your faith or spirituality, your sex life, your addictions, or your sense of purpose or identity in life. Wherever you find yourself, I believe that there is more for you. It is my goal to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental environment where I can help you process what you decide to share with me.

I have been practicing in Ventura for over 25 years. I specialize in helping people work through difficult areas in their lives, which are often relationships; all sorts of relationships. While marriage can be the most challenging relationship anyone will ever experience, it can also be the most rewarding. I help people learn to communicate more effectively and overcome any barriers or traumas that may be interfering with their relationships. I will help you identify how to find more satisfaction in your life and your relationships and how to experience peace and happiness within yourself.

Do you want to change the emotional climate of your relationship? I am passionate about working with couples to transform relationships from isolation to intimate connection, together building a safe haven. Relationships can get stuck in destructive patterns leaving couples feeling isolated in their marriage . As couples grow in self-awareness and share their more authentic and vulnerable feelings they can build a haven of safety, including increased compassion, ability to comfort each other and resolve arguments. Through the process couples discover they feel more secure with themselves and other relationships are enhanced as well. Let this be your story.

My approach is accepting, caring, confidential and non-judgmental, as well as practical and grounded. I help people to get clarity about their problems, and to connect with their own inner wisdom, creativity, self awareness, and healing. This allows for a natural emergence of positive choices, good solutions, and actions that are in alignment with their true selves and deepest desires. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and developing more trust and acceptance, which helps to improve closeness and positive feelings in relationships.
