I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Sometimes life can be very difficult to manage and cope and it can be a challenge to find someone who will really listen or know what to do to help. Reaching out to a therapist is a courageous choice and I highly value and care for each client that I counsel. Your story and struggles are important and it is my high privilege that you would trust me in sharing your personal story. Stylistically, I am a present, caring and thoughtful therapist that help clients gain empowerment, containment and goal-setting using effective evidenced-based tools. I am also EMDR Certified to work with clients who have experienced trauma.

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.
