Marriage Counseling Therapists in Carmel, IN

I believe people seek out counseling for one of two reasons. First, they find themselves in a crisis situation with their life out of balance. This may be due to the discomfort of anxiety or depression, an out of control addiction, the stress of an unsatisfying relationship, a child who is struggling or the heartache of grief. Secondly, their life may be in balance but they are at a decision point or feel a need for self-improvement including career concerns, a desire to improve a relationship or a need to explore obtaining their fullest potential. Both are equally valid reasons to seek the assistance of a caring professional.

Have you lost hope in your marriage because of the breakdown in communication, connection, and trust? Are you ready to work together to regain intimacy and learn to correct faulty attunement? Counseling can seem like a daunting endeavor but I make every effort to appreciate each spouse's experience, creating safety for openness and honesty. Many of my couples find the journey well worth the time and effort. Whether you struggle with feeling misunderstood, end up in angry stalemates, or deal with complex issues such as infidelity or being a blended family, we will collaborate to increase feelings of trust and connection.

I believe therapy offers us a unique opportunity to deal with the challenges we inevitably face. throughout our lives. Within each of us lies the ability for personal growth and insight. We may find ourselves struggling with life transitions, job loss, relationships, personal issues and a great deal of uncertainty. I believe that during these times the therapy process is beneficial in finding, creating and empowering the self towards healthy, meaningful growth and change. Finding meaning and connection takes courage and determination to face difficult, often painful situations.

I'm excited to work with individuals and couples who are interested in discovering more about themselves and their relationships. These discoveries can be used to bring positive changes and to find new ways to manage today's issues and build strategies for a healthy future.

All of us face painful and challenging experiences at some point in our journey. And sometimes, we need extra support to move through the struggles, to grow, to heal, to learn and unlearn, and to find peace and harmony again. I am passionate about walking alongside you through the ebb and flow of life, as you process pain and trauma, relationship strain, grief and loss, and other hardships that accompany living. A central part of my practice is to provide support and encouragement in these moments while also helping you to move toward greater clarity, calm, and well-being.

I have been working with individuals and couples for 20 years. Many of the clients I see suffer from depression, anxiety, work and relationship issues (including communication problems, feeling disconnected, infidelity, and divorce).
