My focuses are relationships of all kinds: couples work-- marriage, pre-marriage, divorce, infidelity-- and anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Change, loss and trauma generate stress. Persistent stress can lead to the development of negative thoughts about oneself and the world. Unresolved stress is linked to disease, disturbance in behavior and emotions and diminished well-being. Through therapy one can identify personal strengths, enhance awareness, and create opportunity for change, growth and healing.

Therapy is a healing pathway. Sometimes the challenges an individual faces may be deeply concealed, making it difficult to seek help. A unique caring approach is tailored to the needs of each individual. Healing is attainable... the path is accessible. Confidentiality is the upmost important.

There are generally two types of therapy. In the first type, the therapist tries to help distract you from your irrational feelings, desires, or thoughts. In the second type, the therapist recognizes that you didn't always have these issues and that they arose at specific times in your past. The aim is to trace your present problems back to their past roots and pull out the weed. Intuitive people often have a sense for how they haven't been the same since a bad break up, an accident, a social humiliation, the death of a loved one, or since they made a bad decision.

My goal is to help open to transformation through awareness. It is normal that there are times in life when things get in the way of feeling or doing your best, or even feeling like yourself. Old problems are like toxic waste buried in the backyard. You can lay sod over it, but it’s still there and leaks out at unpredictable times. Sometimes people know where they are stuck, and sometimes not- we'll just start where you are. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse, old trauma, stuck patterns in relationships, feeling dissatisfaction with work and life are all worthy of our attention and work.

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.
