Are you feeling hopeless or stuck in life or your relationships? Do you feel like you've been doing the same thing over and over and getting no results? Do you want to feel connected to your partner? I believe those who seek out therapy have a willingness to challenge themselves and desire to achieve self-growth. Sometimes we do not know how to adjust to a new life transition or break the pattern of a continuous cycle. At LIC Marriage and Family Therapy we establish effective communication and positive self-esteem to help empower our clients to understand themselves and their partner by acceptance and validation.

As an Intern in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am focused on relational healing and growth.
We all want loving, connected relationships, we want the best for our children and we want deeply fulfilling and meaningful lives. Then life happens, our mind loses the target, our emotions weigh us down and our bodies feel tired and weary. If you've reached this point, I want to walk along this path with you. I will work to understand your inner terrain and then help you see the bridges, landmarks, rest stops, and water stations so that your journey regains more of its adventure and joy. From here you orient back to your own compass discovering calm, confidence, compassion, connection, creativity, courage, and clarity.

Sometimes we find ourselves at an inner-crossroads. Maybe you’ve realized you’re repeating cycles you know you want to break. Maybe you’re feeling unfulfilled but can't pinpoint why. Maybe you feel tossed around by your own intense emotions, or maybe you just can’t seem to make the changes you crave. You’re not alone. I work with clients who are often smart and anxious, who tend to feel exhausted by working so hard yet somehow still feel like it’s never enough. I also work with clients who feel sensitive to the world around them, often to the point of overwhelm.

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.
