Are you seeking an experienced virtual counselor? I've been offering phone and virtual sessions for over 15 years and have a knack for making you feel we are sitting across from one another. We can and will accomplish as much, if not more, working virtually. I am an active and directive therapist who will engage powerfully with you to help you make the changes you seek. My background is in family dysfunction and addiction studies with an emphasis on those who have been affected by others' addictions or obsessive behaviors. Codependent, narcissistic, and toxic relationships are painful, and you deserve healing now.

I really love to work with people who find themselves at a place where something has to give....where staying the same is no longer an attractive option. It may feel like your relationship is stuck in a bad place, or that your family is spun out of control, or that you simply are not the best version of yourself. I work best with those who are ready to take a long honest look at the things that are hard to see..... those who are willing to be brave and learn how to create something different in their lives.

I am focused on helping people find the long lasting change in their lives they have been striving for. Many of us have had the experience of deciding what we need to do differently and struggle actually implementing that plan. I have confidence in people having the capabilities to come up with their own solutions provided the right support and environment. Trauma and impactful experiences can be barriers getting in the way of accessing or utilizing these solutions. Let's focus on creating the neurological changes you need to help you find the true long lasting healing you desire rather than short term solutions that fizzle out.

I empower my clients to realize their optimum self through growth and discovery of their strengths and innate qualities. I believe that to be successful in our lives, we need to notice what works for us and transfer that insight into the areas that we would like to better.

We decide our path and take the steps towards our new future. My clients are multidimensional and range in age.

At times, the existential trek is painfully taxing, even intolerable, yet also fertile terrain for unearthing our boundless capacity. Here, therapy serves as an avenue to a more agentic, authentic, self-honoring narrative. Unflinchingly committed to and invested in my clients' growth, I strive to foster an affirming, trusting relationship in which we gently excavate your sources of unrest and facilitate deeper awareness, integration, and action. I relish working with anyone who finds their needs and desires at odds with cultural scripts or societal expectations and may struggle for harmony inside an inherently paradoxical existence.

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.
