Let’s get to the root of your suffering together. Many people seek out therapy because they feel trapped in an endless loop of suffering. This is especially true of trauma survivors. I believe that we can only begin the journey toward wholeness by uncovering the roots of suffering. Then, we can heal by integrating the unconscious aspects of ourselves and our experiences into the conscious fullness of who we are as human beings.

My clients are people of all ages who find themselves ready to move into a way of being and relating that they know in their hearts is possible. Experience has shown me that a trusted relationship is medicine that catalyzes our ability to meet our pain, question our beliefs, refine our visions, celebrate our joy—all of which are part of becoming ourselves. Within many frames of psychology, I have seen how easy it can be to become locked into identity structures that reinforce limitation. Energy wants to move. Experiences want to be known. Visions want to be honed. These intensifying days call to us whispering- time to transform.

I often can intuit the key issues underlying a person’s suffering, which are often relational-both within ourselves and with others. To be kind and yet direct, and to really see you-both as you are now and how you want to become more whole. Finding clarity, compassion, and new ways to effectively deal with problems are essential in therapy. I will help you find where you are stuck and ways to get unstuck, by changing how you process both your thoughts and feelings. I work with both adults and couples.

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.
