Are you unhappy and feel alone in your relationship or marriage? Are there problems with infidelity? Is there a lack of intimacy in your relationship? Do you feel disconnected from your partner and that your partner doesn't understand you? I am a couples counselor and have been able to help many relationships that have often been neglected for too long.
The approach that I use does not assign blame to either person. I focus on discovering the awareness of the negative cycle that a couple gets into and help to create a positive and more understanding cycle.

It is here that I bring a unique perspective culled from my background in Philosophy, Hypnosis, the Arts, Behavioral Medicine, the Marital Arts, Psychology, and Meditation.
Psychotherapy should be collaborative, and able to adapt to the individual seeking treatment rather than demanding that the person fit some Procrustean bed of preconceived theory. My approach emphasizes individually tailored solutions that build on a person's strengths and makes creative use of their so-called weaknesses, i.e. it is competency based rather than pathology oriented. There is a strong effort to integrate mind, body, and spirit and to utilize both conscious and unconscious resources.

As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that relational work can be an incredible way to embark on a healing journey.
Anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with couples, families, and individuals I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with individual clients on body-image related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance.

With so many things going on in the world, it is often easy to neglect one's own mental health. Just as the physical health is important, so is the mental health. We provide a safe, private, and non-judgmental space, allowing clients the freedom to express themselves. It also important to understand that enlisting help is a sign of strength as it takes a tough person to admit when they need the support of a mental health professional.

You have been in therapy before and although helpful, you continue to struggle with your relationships and with your self-esteem. That nagging negative core belief (I'm not enough; I'm unlovable, etc.) you have about yourself is still there and won't go away. Past traumas (big or small) have left you feeling unsafe, unseen and misunderstood. You find you either overreact or underreact. Old thoughts/feelings, anxiety, worry, attachment issues, self-esteem or depression has you feeling stuck, and you want better for yourself and for those around you.

**Free 30-min Video Consultation** Being in the circus taught me that juggling too many balls in the air can lead to feeling like you're always picking up the pieces rather than enjoying the show. While our emotions float up and down, we start applying binary labels of "good" (happy) and "bad" (anger, sadness, anxiety) that our systems (e.g., US Society, Family, Culture) has assigned. Improve self-awareness of our emotions, thoughts, and the stories we tell ourselves about our worth internally, with others, and in the world. Change the Narrative you've internalized through identifying, observing, respecting, and accepting emotions.

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.
