Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California with over 8 years of clinical experience. I typically work with parents in the perinatal period as they navigate their transition into parenthood or re-adjust to life with a new baby, whether it's their first or the fifth! I screen and treat clients for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and birth trauma. I rely heavily on aspects of CBT, DBT, and the importance of self-regulation. It is important to me that my practice is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive because therapeutic care should be accessible to everyone.

Most marriage and family therapists believe a wide range of individual problems must be understood within the context of the family and social environments. I believe in this systems approach to mental and emotional problems and have the goal to change problematic, repetitive interactions that contribute to the presenting problem. As a trauma informed therapist, I am aware of the long-lasting effects of childhood trauma and will explore that using a narrative therapy approach. Our goal for therapy is the reduce distress and improve functionality. In what ways are you feeling not OK? Let’s help you start feeling OK.

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.
