My specialities: marital and premarital therapy, postpartum, intercultural relationships, parenting, emerging adults, supporting teens, and relationship skill building.
Feeling disconnected and alone? Stuck in a loop of unhappiness? Maybe you aren’t sure how you got here or maybe you know exactly what the issue is, but you don’t know how to get past it. You can see the vision of the life you want so clearly, but it’s like you are wading through mud, struggling to even make it an inch forward towards that vision. And in the meantime, the gap between where you are and where you want to be is so painful.

Sometimes life is hard. Inevitably it may occasionally feel intolerable, tremendous, or overwhelming. At times, challenges may feel insurmountable, and appear to require courage that is assumed to exceed our current capacity. And, especially during significant change, may evoke questioning the fundamentals of identity, relationships, and/or the external world. Although challenges in life cannot be avoided or prematurely alleviated, they can be shared in the space and experienced with healing. Within this process, there is a depth of potential for the parts of the self that hold the strength and resilience yet to be discovered.

Are you feeling stuck, isolated, or afraid? Life is a constant transition; it never stays the same. It is understandable to feel uncertainty, self-doubt, and even fear. When faced with these feelings, many people turn to themselves, wondering what’s wrong with them. You are not alone. I understand how scary it is to feel like you have to move forward all by yourself in these trying times.

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.
