I am a registered nurse and licensed professional counselor. I am multi-dimensional in the services I provide. I see children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I started my career working with and teaching children who were not psychologically ready to move from kindergarten to first grade. My love for helping people inspired me to go back to school and pursue a nursing degree. After moving to Connecticut, I worked as a psych nurse at Waterbury Hospital at Merriman Hall for 6 years. This was a locked unit and it was here that I learned all the family therapy methodology.

My personal experience is of habitual self-judgement by our relentless inner critic, constantly running in the background. Who among would not benefit from the support of a nonjudgemental mirror, especially during these stressful times, to inspire our own kind self reflection and curiosity in the present moment, where life happens. It's our own self aggression that keeps us painfully stuck. What is "right" with us should be the first question! Daring to proclaim our fundamental OK-ness is our challenge. I dare you!

Is the pattern of "reacting" rather than "responding" negatively impacting your relationships and professional life? Is your self-esteem battered from being constantly criticized for overreacting? These are indications that the issue lies in your nervous system rather than your cognitive process. When this is the case, it makes sense to focus treatment on developing techniques to modulate your nervous system. This will help you access critical thinking and respond in a productive way. Your relationships, career, and self-esteem will benefit when you are able to formulate a response rather than be driven by emotional reactivity.

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.
