I have over 25 years of experience. Most of us are faced with situations and issues at some point in our life we never dreamed would happen to us. When navigating what life throws at us it's not only helpful, but important for our long term recovery, to have the right support along the way. As a therapist with over twenty-five years of experience I have helped and supported many individuals, couples and families work through issues ranging from anxiety and depression to infidelity, financial stress, illness and death, separation, interpersonal and family conflict, addictions, identity and sexuality issues, as well as abuse issues.

One of the sweetest things in all the world is the ability to enjoy yourself when you're with others.
Imagine your home as a place where family members find it easy to relax and have a good time with each other.
Then imagine that nice feeling radiating out to others with whom you come in contact. You find it easy to forget yourself and be comfortable when you talk to other people.
These things are possible. I know. It happened to me.

Individuals and families of immigrants from a Muslim background can go through much psychological turmoil for being minorities in a mainstream culture that misunderstands them. This may lead to low self esteem, anxiety and depression. They would need affirmations and support to find balance between cultures and find peace within themselves. They would require special understanding of their own culture and the mainstream culture to develop confidence in themselves and be assertiveness while being respectful to everyone around them. A good therapist would instill a sense of wellbeing in them as they contribute positively to life.

Let's pretend... it's 6 months from now - what is different? What do you have more of? In the beginning of therapy, many people come confused, overwhelmed, and burned-out. Some describe feeling lost, or "wanting to feel like me again." Many tell me that they've tried everything, to no avail. But they also often know where they want to be. Maybe you're in a place where you feel ready to make a change. Or maybe that you need to make one. Taking the first step in finding a provider, scheduling an appointment, and meeting for the first time is hard work! And it is the last step you need to do alone.

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.
