Trauma creates a disconnection from the self, if we are disconnected, we are not aware of unconscious drivers which show up constantly in the present in interactions, relationships, marriage, and family.
Gabor Mate says trauma is anything that changes you in a way that makes your future responses to the world more limited. I truly enjoy connecting with clients in order to engage them in discovering their truth. I work with a variety of individuals, families, and couples who are seeking to live consciously and in authenticity. Whatever arises - depression, anxiety, mania, psychosis, any type of addiction, self harm, avoidance, relationship/family challenges, anger/aggression, mood instability, distraction/impulsivity, or trauma reactions we will work to connect each person to their true self.

You aren't sure how life got to this point. Starting another day is going to take energy that you just don’t have. You don’t feel like yourself anymore, but you don’t know how to connect with “who you used to be.” Is the disconnect impacting your most important relationships, such as your spouse, your children, family members, and friends? Even your relationship with yourself? You may find yourself pulling away from others in exhaustion or frustration, but also fearing they are pulling away from you. Perhaps you have faith and hope for the future, but lately even your faith has felt distant from you.

I believe that professional counseling gives us the opportunity to maximize our life's potential. What can this mean for you? Seeking counseling could mean working on relationship struggles that result in a happier marriage or partnership. Counseling could mean learning more about depression and then finding ways to manage it and feel better. Counseling could also mean facing a painful past and starting the process of compassionate healing. Whatever your reason, seeking counseling means that you are ready to take care of yourself and improve the quality of your life. I can't think of a better 'personal investment.'

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.
