My focus of study in school was Marriage and Family therapy.
From an early age I have had a passion for people that has driven me to engage people in the world they live in. I have a deep desire to help others find hope and healing as they deal with the struggles of life. Throughout my life I have pursued numerous ways to engage people in developing hope and healing, and it is through counseling that I have found that I can help others navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, faith and spirituality issues, identity issues, men's issues, and to manage life's hurts that lead to habits and hang-ups. 30 min. session $75, 45 min. session $100, 1 hour session $135

I am not taking on new clients at this time but I have an intern who is. Are you an adult struggling with relationship issues, marriage conflict, anxiety or depression? Are you overwhelmed or do you desire to have more peace in your life and in your relationships? Are you approaching your wedding day and seeking premarital counseling? Or are you a teen looking for extra support? Maybe school is difficult, maybe you have conflict with your parents, maybe you have a history of sexual abuse or you're in a relationship that is not going as hoped. Whatever you are facing, there is hope and I am ready to walk through this with you.

Many of my clients come into treatment due to past traumas. Often they have struggled with many past traumatic relationships or significant past traumatic events. Many of them are just starting to figure out what past trauma has been doing to them. Their mind has created protective filters that change the way they see people and the world they live in. Others are ready for reprocessing and putting that traumatic past behind them. Some of my clients are coming for help with relationship issues, such as family or marital struggles.

"What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim.

Marriage is hard and it is certainly not the fairy tale story that Disney had once made us believe. It takes work, compromise, forgiveness, and understanding. Learning to communicate and resolve conflict effectively is a major key, but it also involves putting our ego aside and truly having a desire to listen to our partner and their needs. I have been in private practice for 20 years, and I am Gottman Method trained. I have worked in the field of domestic violence, residential care, and as a community mental health provider for more than 26 years. I am currently seeking my doctoral degree in Marriage and Family therapy.

I have experience with marriage and family, pre marriage, men's issues, career and life transitions.
I help married couples in distress re-discover their passion for one another, bring peace to their home and reach a new level of relating and enjoying life together. Martin Luther King Jr is attributed as saying "Faith is taking the first step when you can't see the whole staircase." Sometimes taking that first step, like calling or emailing a therapist you've never met, is a bit daunting. But what might happen if you give it a try?

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.
