We are a small group of independent therapists who have joined together to assist you in gaining empowerment and making decisions aligned with your authentic self. Some of us come with a desire to end deep emotional suffering, others to resolve issues in life whether it is work/school related, family dynamics, or difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Others turn to therapy out of wanting to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and our engagement in repetitive behaviors and viscous cycles that keep us stuck in old patterns, “dysfunctional comfort”.

I am an English and Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
The therapist's couch—We all will need it at some point in our lives.
I own a brown couch, with which I have consulted about struggles and trials when I did not have someone to talk to. He never replied as it is just a good listener. That is often what you're looking for, someone to really listen when life isn't going the way you planned it or intended it to be. There is no one who is an expert in your life, other than you. You owe it to yourself to find your voice and someone who can accompany on your journey to finding out what you want and what you need.
"Two are better than one. For if one falls, one will lift up the other."

I work with individuals and couples.
You can seem like you’ve got things handled and still second-guess almost everything you say or do in relationships. You might send a text and then keep rereading it, wondering if it sounded weird, too much, or not clear enough. In conversations, you may hold back what you actually think, then later wish you had said it differently or said it at all. It can feel easier to go along with things than risk tension or being misunderstood, even when something doesn’t sit right with you. Over time, that turns into constantly questioning yourself and not really trusting your own judgment.

Accepting in-person clients in Baldwinsville in April 2026! I believe everyone is deserving of processing their emotions in a place that is safe, non judgmental and met with compassion and empathy.

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.
