After working with people on the Connecticut shoreline for over thirty years in private practice, I moved my practice to my home in North Branford. I specialize in working with people who are having relationship difficulties, including divorce and re marriage issues. My experience has taught me that it is not helpful to try to fit clients into a particular theory or therapeutic technique; however I rely heavily upon Relational Life Therapy (Real) and Compassionate Inquiry (Mate). Since every client and couple are unique, we need to understand why they are stuck and what is standing in the way of their getting on with their lives.

Sometimes insight is not enough. We might find ourselves feeling stuck or struggling with patterns of thoughts, emotions and/or behaviors that prompt suffering and interfere with the quality of our life and our ability to achieve our goals. We may know the why of things and find ourselves unable to make things better in spite of that. Using a skill based approach to successfully address obstacles to being our best selves and creating the life we want may be just the thing to propel us forward. Cultivating mindfulness, which is the ability to observe and notice without judgment, along with other skills, can help prompt change.

I feel honored to do this work and have much experience working succesfully with kids of all ages, parents and adults. Finding the right therapist is much like finding the right pair of jeans....you want to make sure they fit well. Every counselor will have his/her own style which may not feel comfortable for every person. I offer a multi-step evaluation process, before we agree to longer-term work. If my style of work isn't well- matched to your needs, I'll help you find someone else who is.

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.
