Life is difficult and we are not supposed to know how to handle all that comes our way. Psychotherapy is one way to address life's difficulties. My work is with individuals, couples and families which includes a specialization in communication, relationship issues, shame, vulnerability, self-esteem issues, anxiety/depression, addiction and any barrier to fulfilling one's full potential. Families are systems that can heal, and change is always possible. I am a certified ARISE@ Substance and Mental Health Interventionist. I bring the experience of 33 years of marriage as well as raising five adult children to my practice.

Are you pregnant, ready to enjoy the 'pregnancy glow,' or a new mom, hoping to 'enjoy this stage while it lasts?' Yet inside, you feel alone, in need of support. You are not sure if you ate lunch today, cannot recall the last time you had a decent night's sleep, and are in constant worry. Perhaps you are concerned about your baby's health, have undesirable thoughts popping up, or feel detached and alone. You have a strong desire to speak to someone and find support, but the idea of finding someone who you are comfortable with appears daunting and far too exhausting.

When facing difficulties and challenges, seeking help is one of the strongest and most empowering steps one can take. Therapy is a great opportunity not only to learn how to function at our optimal level, but to finally put to rest what has blocked us from living a full and satisfying life. It is a safe space from which to build confidence, conquer fears and develop the tools necessary to manage and overcome obstacles we face within ourselves and our environments.

Even with a "challenging" client, I have learned a lot and found value in the work. With that being said, my ideal client has a history of trauma that has impacted their ability to connect with others and themselves. They are struggling with body image, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety about how others are perceiving them. They want to be empowered to advocate for themselves when necessary and create a wellness routine that serves as a preventative measure for mental health problems.

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.
