Life's challenges are on the rise and staying on top of them demands enormous effort. Adapting to changing situations can make one feel a sense of helplessness and/or extreme anxiety. It can happen to anyone at anytime, creating feelings of guilt, powerlessness and a sense of being completely over whelmed. It is at these times when life can be very stressful, that you may need help dealing with the distress. This doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. Therapy provides a safe place for change, healing and growth to take place.

What I love most about specializing in marriage and family therapy is the mindset that the person is not the "problem," the way the couple or family interact or communicate is what causes dysfunction.
Do you have problems in your relationship with your significant other, family, or friends? Do you sometimes feel as if you are stuck inside your own head and can't escape your thoughts and feelings? In life, we find ways to be successful but that doesn't always translate to our relationships and own self worth and confidence. I help individuals and families who are struggling with bouts of depression and anxiety, or have gone through recent or past trauma feel as if there is a strength inside of them that can break through whatever is holding them back.

I graduated with a Masters in Psychology and have 4 years post masters training in Marriage and family therapy and have been trained in EMDR.
Therapy is about where you are and where you want to go. It is about acceptance of your values and the goals that you seek. Therapy doesn't have to be a long painful journey. Resolving conflicts, getting over issues, or addressing unwanted feelings should be a positive quest. I believe in short term therapy which has been successful with my Adult and Adolescent clients who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and other symptoms. Life Coaching-Therapy can help uncovering the patterns of feelings, thoughts or patterns of behavior that have interfered with our goals.

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.
