Anxiety, depression, and the experience of grief and loss can all feel like heavy clouds casting shadows over every aspect of your life, keeping you stuck and preventing you from living life fully. Whether you are struggling with difficult emotions such as sadness, fear, shame, anger, panic, or life limiting behaviors such as overthinking, constant worry, isolation, or avoidance, effective therapy provides a safe space to process your emotions, gain insight into your unique circumstances, learn coping strategies, and reclaim control over your mental health.

Now accepting new clients (individuals or couples). My two niches are couples therapy and Enneagram. You may be trying to find a sense of who you are, as you struggle with patterns of emotional and/or relationship distress. Or perhaps you are a couple whose relationship feels disconnected, and you’re wondering if emotional connection can be found again. Whether you are trying to find “wholeness” as an individual or in your relationship, I’d love to help in your journey. Some of the emotional issues I work with include self esteem (self identity), anxiety, depression, and life transitions/adjustment.

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.
