Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you questioning yourself and your life path? As a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist, I help people with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, LGBTQ+ specific issues, and more.
Are you ready to come out but aren't sure if you will be accepted? Have you already come out to family or friends but are not getting the acceptance that you desire? I understand that coming out can be difficult and does not happen all at once. Has a friend or family member recently come out and you need help to process what this means? Whether you identify within the LGBTQ+ community or you are a family member or friend of someone within the community, I can help you navigate in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Life will inevitably have all sorts of challenges, and as such I offer assistance in navigating those more difficult moments. My approach emphasizes a constructive collaboration between therapist and client, in which we will together establish and find ways to reach personal milestones, while exploring your core beliefs. Conversations will be largely purposed to increase insight, coping, and a sense of empowerment by being in touch with one's own values.

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.
