Now taking clients for individual therapy only, daytime hours only please! I’d love to help you find a new and better place to live in and live from. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work well with couples, families, and teens. Everyone who comes to therapy is unique so I listen well to get to know each person and family situation well. My systems training will help you make better sense of how to communicate to those you love and care for. With a couple’s relationship, I’m amazed at how rich EFT, an attachment based approach, is in helping people open up to healing and trust inside their relationship.

Are you are always in battle with your spouse or partner? Has communication has broken down and you don’t know how to talk to each other anymore? Are you hurt because of things that were said in anger? Do you feel that no matter what you do, nothing is ever good enough or you’re not good enough? In most marriage or couples counseling, all things can be improved, changed and made better, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, fight fair and get what you want out of your relationship.

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.
