As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am specifically trained to help individuals, couples, and families explore and implement new solutions for problems in which they previously felt stuck.
If you are looking for a therapist, you are hoping for something to change. Therapy can be a helpful resource for preventing emotional and relationship challenges from worsening, or it can help you find a way forward when you are fighting to find any hope for healing. If you are struggling internally with issues like anxiety, depression, or grief, or if you have experienced pain in your relationships from challenges like abuse, affairs, or conflict, therapy can be a path toward peace and healthy growth.

Being a licensed marriage and family therapist means I am an expert in relationships.
"I cheated, I had an affair." No one ever wants to be told these words, but your partner just said them to you. They were your anchor and they betrayed your trust. In your shock and disbelief, you searched for answers, but that only lead to the worst fights you have ever had. Since then, you have lived as roommates keeping to your own corners of the house. You are tired of the distance and want things to just go back to how they were. But deep down you tell yourself, "It can never be like it was. Not now."

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.
