I have developed several pragmatic models using empirically sound theories to help individuals with pornography addiction, depression or anxiety, marital distress, and more, to rise above the problem they are focusing way too much on and focus instead on healthy behaviors.
No one seeks counseling just to seek counseling. People seek counseling to bring about change. At Family Transitions Counseling we don't just provide counseling. We provide tools for helping you to change: changing perspective; changing behaviors; changing how you think; changing your life. I work hard to empower clients who have trusted me with their care to find solutions to their problems by building their own strengths and by focusing on new ways to behave and think. We move forward towards an improved life rather than dwelling on problems and the past.

I know that sometimes in life we reach a point where we feel stuck, but there is hope. My ideal patient is focused upon personal growth and healing. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, couples and marriage concerns, OCD, among other issues we face in life, therapy can help. You don't have to do this alone. You are probably looking for a way to break these patterns, and there is. I help clients work through trauma and leave the unhealthy patterns that may have been useful for them in the past, but are now getting in the way of the life they want to live.

I enjoy working with couples in their endeavors to enhance their marriage to create a more fulfilling life.
The decision to start counseling is challenging for some. It is often the first step to getting on a better path. I feel privileged to be a partner with my clients on their journey and don't take lightly the trust they place with me. I firmly believe that change is possible and that we gain much from our experiences (both easy and difficult) that will help us learn and grow in ways that could not otherwise be possible.

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.
