I am a marriage and family therapist.
My ideal client would be willing to work with me systemically, meaning someone willing to look beyond themselves and think, “Why is this happening?” instead of just thinking they are the problem. For example, if someone is coming in to work on depression and anxiety, my ideal client would be willing to explore the underlying issues contributing to the depression and anxiety instead of someone who is only looking for coping skills and such.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

My strength base is client centered therapy. I believe that it is important that the client knows that they play an important role in their recovery. Their feelings and attitudes are a big part to therapy. It is important for both client and counselor to achieve a therapeutic relationship for a successful outcome. I will help clients set goals that are realistic and achievable with treatment. I believe that a strong client/counselor relationship is the groundwork to the healing process. I will create a positive, no judgment and stress-free environment, where the client is able to share openly and expect the best treatment.

I have worked with families, individuals, as well as, groups in helping them get a better understanding of whatever crisis's or emotional struggles that may hinder their everyday living. It is difficult to open up with family and sometimes it is better to work through some situations with someone who's nonjudgmental and able to provide practical and professional guidance.

My ideal clients are people who are open to learning about new perspectives and ways of thinking with the intention of creating healthier inner dialogues and approaches to life stressors. Clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and life transitions may or may not know the root cause/s of their suffering, but taking this first step towards healing is a journey I feel privileged to participate in. Each person is the expert on themselves, and if we form an open and honest working relationship, the possibilities for transformation, growth, and lasting change are within certain reach.

I love to help others. It has been my passion ever since I was a teenager. I want to be a positive support and teach others how to be the best version of themselves. It is so rewarding to be part of another person's journey and see them accomplish their goals. I also want to be the major point of support for someone that I wish I had and needed when I was younger.

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.
