I am experienced working with people of all ages, and in couples and family groups. Most people have goals around reducing distress and resolving painful experiences, as well as exploring their strengths and potential for change and growth. Mental health problems, stressful life events and chronic pain or illness can take a toll on our resources. Having a safe and private place to explore possibilities and build upon skills can be a powerful aid in moving forward in life with renewed energy and positivity. If you plan to use your insurance, please contact them and find out your copayment or deductible so it's not a surprise to you.

It's ok to start therapy just because you think you need a little extra help, even if you are usure of "why". Seeking therapy is a routine and preventive form of healthcare, like going to the dentist. A therapist is like a personal trainer for your mind and your relationships. Perhaps begin by identifying broad motives, your hopes, and your dreams. Consider that your heartfelt thoughts and feelings may be "I just want to be happy." or "I feel stuck" or even "I'm tired of merely going through the motions".

While pregnancy and motherhood can be a lovely time, for many, it can be one of the most challenging and painful experiences. Not everyone becomes pregnant in ideal relationships or living circumstances and this makes the experience that much harder. I am drawn to helping this community of mothers, particularly young mothers while helping them process their past traumas and the overall journey of becoming a mother. My goal is to help individuals become not only the healthiest mother she can be but the healthiest version of herself.

Trauma. It comes in many shapes and sizes. It affects everyone in different ways, and the effects can be devastating to your self-esteem, physical and mental health, and overall life. You can feel angry; vengeful; depressed; withdrawn; alone; misunderstood. Trauma, in any form, alters us in mostly negative ways; and it doesn’t have to be that way. The first step in healing is to talk to someone you trust. Someone who makes you feel heard; safe; secure. Someone who accepts you unconditionally and seeks to understand so they can help you put those experiences in the past.

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.
