Has life thrown you a curveball? Are you feeling stuck or in a rut? Missing a sense of purpose? That is normal! Those experiences, while difficult, can be a push towards growth and positive changes (change is hard!) & looking for a counselor to speak to is a great step forward. I believe that the best counselors have life experience that supports their specialization. I am able to support you with college prep, career, relationships, marriage, infertility and treatment journeys, pregnancy loss, NICU (happy to zoom into the hospital), dealing with a new diagnosis and chronic illness, and raising children with special needs.

Life transitions, family predicaments, career decisions, and marital or relationship dynamics, each requires attention and energy. Today, more than ever, anxiety and depression are increasing stress levels and further complicating the challenges of life, both routine and unexpected. Perhaps you are in need of change, yet overwhelming thoughts and feelings are preventing you from finding appropriate solutions.

I have found at the core of most behavioral, emotional, and mental discomfort is pain associated with earlier trauma or loss. What I offer clients is a safe space to create a healing of the past for both the mind and the body so that we can be more alive in the present moment. I will foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment to encourage healthy development in learning to relate differently to one's emotions and parts of self while becoming aware of conditioning from childhood that no longer serves you and creates self sabotage. This process is to help with all levels of disconnectedness so that healing can take place.

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.
