I have the upmost respect for the folks who have shown bravery in seeking out therapy. I aim to be authentic and open to the work and appreciate working with folks who are ready to grow and find some relief! I have worked with a broad range of folks who recognize that they have challenges but also recognize the power they have to live a full life in the way that they want to. We all face challenges and setbacks. I hope to work with folks who are prepared to take a look at themselves and recognize what isn't working. Everyone I work with is the expert in themselves and will remain in the driver's seat. Always.

I am a dedicated clinician with the mission to help others recognize and reach their potential by promoting their emotional and mental well-being. Resiliency is a skill that I emphasize throughout treatment. For some the need for crisis intervention or need for short term solution therapy is appropriate. Others need long term, psychodynamic therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy. The chosen modality is always tailored to the needs of the client. "Choose your attitude, choose your life."

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.
