My degree in Marriage and Family Therapy focuses on navigating all types of relational/relationship dynamics even if it's just for individuals.
My clients are highly motivated, ready to "do the work" and want to see all parts of their life getting better. Regardless of if you are feeling anxiety, frustration, despair, grief, I've handled that. Is your partner/spouse being a pain in the butt and making your relationship a challenge, 50% of my week is couples work. Are you an entrepreneur, business owner or executive professional navigating career annoyances in your office or trying to figure out your or your team's next strategic moves, I am certified to handle that! Not your typical therapy and not your typical therapist!

Everybody deserves to have the opportunity to feel that they're allowed to experience what they've experienced... and know they're not crazy... To be heard. I hope to provide a safe and nurturing space where healing and growth can occur. I like to view psychotherapy and the therapeutic relationship as having a personal trainer for your emotional well being and personal life. It can teach relational skills and promote healing. It requires a commitment to yourself and serves as an investment. The return on that investment can be achieving goals, growth, and emotional satisfaction.

The foundation of my practice is built around helping people reconnect with their inherent goodness. I believe that every person in this world is inherently good, and has what to offer to others. Throughout our childhood and teenage years, we face challenges that either propel us to success or set us back and put us in a state of fear. When we "do the work" together, we try to identify what the setbacks are, then we work on unleashing your potential to reveal your goodness and your gift for the world around you.

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.
