After undergrad, I wanted to understand better the real-life needs of the communities I could eventually work with in a therapeutic setting, so I became a social worker. I spent time working with a wide variety of clients, including those who experienced severe medical and mental health struggles, disabilities, learning differences, poverty, etc. I also worked with their families to repair ruptures in relationships that had been strained by their circumstances. This experience solidified for me the need to approach therapy as a tool to help clients co-create healthy, functioning systems within themselves and their world.

I take a lifelong, developmental approach to problems. Different problems show up differently at different ages and I try to consider the person’s tasks for their age, their present skills and successes and strengths, and I ask them what they want. I predominantly draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for working on most distress-based issues, and a more narrative approach for exploratory requests.

I see clients as individuals, as well as couples and family dynamics.
I wish to connect with clients who are seeking empowerment, growth, and change. I truly enjoy being someone to help find and identify strengths that my clients possess, while also being an honest and direct source of motivation.
I take a collaborative approach with clients and prefer to work with you, where you are at. I don't like hierarchy systems, and treat clients as one of my peers. I infuse art, music, animals, and games into therapy to create a laid-back environment. Therapy is not waving a magic wand to make problems disappear, but together we can create magic by building trust and working towards positive change.

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.
