Couples and individuals I support often say they feel like they’ve "lost themselves" in their relationship(s). They feel like they have become roommates, communication is "non-existent," and at times aren’t even sure who they are anymore. Couples and individuals who see me benefit from learning concrete communication skills in the context of each partner's unique backgrounds and personalities, while doing so in a safe space with the support of a third party (me!). My clients explore patterns of codependency, the role anxiety can play systemically, and are willing to slow themselves down to learn about their role in the relationship.

I strive to guide clients toward empowerment by helping you clarify your core values, gain insight into your life, and discover meaning that resonates deeply with you. People with good mental health tend to have a strong sense of purpose and a clear understanding of who they are and what is important to them. Emotions focus our attention and cause us to address situations in our world. Each of us is a fully integrated being with mind and body in constant reciprocal communication, and this is why somatic (body) techniques can be calming to the mind.

Through human connection, healing can take place. I hope to help you begin the process to improve your emotional health no matter where you are in life. As your therapist, my goal is to help you feel at home in your body, mind, and heart. I can help deconstruct and shift your “shoulds” into something that feels more authentic and meaningful to you. Sometimes all we need is a safe environment to explore primary interests, develop goals, and determine strengths and assets to move forward.

Heart Remedy was created because I know how our hearts struggle daily. H.E.A.R.T. stands for hurt, exhausted, anger, resentment, and trauma.

My mission is to help free you from the bondage of these areas, heal wounds, and help you accept the scars in your life. You are not alone, and you are loved no matter what you have been through or what you have done.

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.
