My practice aims to build a safe, non-judgmental environment, wherein the client is seen as a whole person, rather than a collection of symptoms. My approach includes looking at the ways in which our thoughts can influence the ways we think and behave, and exploring ways to restructure beliefs about ourselves and the world that lead to suffering. Individual and couples counseling sessions are structured to holistically target presenting behavioral concerns and encourage insight. My areas of specialty include substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, and couples counseling. I welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am unable to accept new patients at this time. Are you at a point where you or a loved one has lost hope? With over 27 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, marriages, and families, I've seen many find hope that was previously absent by using a short-term, targeted, and effective approach to counseling. Each therapist has unique strengths. Mine is working through tough problems other therapists don't prefer to treat by seeing clients in their homes rather than in an office. Most people are able to see a significant change within 6 months. Counseling should not last forever and neither should your struggles

Taking that first step and asking for help can feel scary. Therefore, my approach to therapy begins by developing a trusting, reciprocal relationship with my clients. I believe trust is fostered through honesty, support, connection, acceptance, and understanding. The formation of this relationship is the agent of positive change. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to remove uncomfortable symptoms, alleviate emotional pain, increase self awareness, and promote personal growth and positive change. Ultimately, this will improve the quality of the lives of my clients and the quality of their relationships with others.

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.
