My areas of expertise include: depression and anxiety, loss and grief, trauma such as physical and sexual abuse, marital issues, divorce, parenting, and eating disorders/body image, including compulsive eating/binge eating.
At this time, you may be struggling with problems in relationships, family, work, or conflicts within yourself. Being so close to the problem, it can be difficult to find the solutions. I believe therapy is an extremely effective process for finding these solutions and creating a fulfilling and satisfying life for yourself. As your therapist, I can guide you to identify patterns of behavior, feelings, and attitudes that are self-defeating or standing in your way. I can help you access your inner wisdom, strengths, and resources that will facilitate the changes you seek.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Michigan.
Over the course of our lives, we learn effective responses to difficult life events and systemic ways of being in society. Sometimes, these core beliefs and skills become 'dysfunctional' and block us from experiencing our best and unique selves later in life. I help individuals, couples and families to work through these, in order to access, experience and express their own inner wisdom and joy. In a safe and comfortable space, people feel seen and heard, they heal and grow strong and experience joy.

Everyone deserves to have a good day and a better tomorrow. I realize that taking on a personal change out of desire or necessity is often harder than it sounds. I work with all ages, life-stages, and conditions. People arrive with their bag of “stuff”: hopes, disappointments, wounds, trauma, diagnoses, and connections. I start where you are and work with you to create a path to a place of well-being.

It's hard being a person. We all struggle to some extent in fundamental areas of human life-- relationships, identity, work, destructive behaviors, the meaning of life itself. Satisfying marriage/committed relationships are a specific challenge faced by many. I work in both individual and couples therapy. There are many ways to approach human problems, including: how family of origin influences personality; one's relationship to one's thoughts and feelings; self-defeating beliefs, both conscious and unconscious; self-defeating behavior. I value thoughtfulness and compassion, working together, and recognizing your goals and ideas.

Sometimes it can feel isolating to be alone with our thoughts and emotions - especially if they have been invalidated by those around us. Reaching out to a professional can feel like entering an unexplored path - it may trigger feelings of fear and apprehension. However, as with anything new and unexplored, the more we become familiar with something, the greater our sense of confidence and ease tends to be. I work with clients ages 13 and older who are experiencing any difficulty in some or all major areas of life including social, occupational, family/marital, and/or within oneself.

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.
