I am an empathetic and passionate Licensed Marriage and Family therapist that strives to create a healing environment that is judgment-free and introspective.
Relationships are essential to our survival and growth, they have the potential to be incredibly transformative and expansive or a source of seemingly never-ending grief and trauma. Sometimes we are able to use the pain to learn to do different or to protect ourselves or our loved ones. Other times, this pain can seem to be so profound that it seems to become a block, an obstacle, in the way of you and your ability to be the person you want to be versus the person you are perceived to be.

Anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with couples, families, and individuals I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with individual clients on body-image related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance.

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.
