I offer individual, family, marital, group, and workshop sessions, and much valued insight and wisdom from my 28 years of experience in the field, and as a student of life.
I will provide you with a safe, objective, confidential, place to be yourself, let go, heal, forgive, grow, get clear, get grounded, get support, learn, laugh, make peace with yourself, and claim your life back. I work holistically, integrating mind, body and spirit, (as we are all three), in order to help you to live fully, authentically, and abundantly. Through various techniques, including breathwork, I will help you to move beyond your preconceived limitations, and reconnect with yourself in a new way, in order for you to manifest your dreams, transform your life, and feel more alive and free.

I work with those struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, marriage/relationship problems, substance use, school problems, family and codependency issues and more.
With over 35 years in the counseling field, I consider my easy-going compassionate manner as an opening to make clients feel comfortable. Seeking help with therapy is one of the most difficult and courageous things a person can do. Quite often, avoiding or escaping or making poor/unhealthy choices becomes a way to cope with uncomfortable life experiences. As a team, we will uncover and identify the issues, decide what it is that you want, set realistic and attainable goals, and practice ways to reach those goals.

I specialize in individual therapy, pre-marital and marriage counseling, and in parenting and family issues.
I believe that many emotional problems people experience stem from the accumulation of previously well intentioned but flawed solutions for every day difficulties. These solutions often create secondary dysfunctional issues which aggravate the original problem. This vicious cycle is particularly relevant to relationships. Unreasonable expectations of oneself and others combined with inappropriate behavior in certain situations contribute to the downward spiral. Using evidence based strategies, I coach clients to make the appropriate attitudinal, emotional and behavioral changes necessary which can result in creative and workable solutions to their difficulties resulting in lasting emotional growth and greater satisfaction with their lives.

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.
