Marriage Counseling Therapists in Nassau County, FL
We will work together to develop a strategy that will help you have a more contented, happy marriage.
When problems are about life, you may need coaching to help find solutions. After therapy has done its magic, coaching is a perfect choice. My goal is to help you find joy and passion in life. Learn how to control anger and anxiety in stressful situations. Do not let these symptoms overtake your life. When life presents such challenges, physical symptoms of insomnia, increased anxiety, and the inability to fully enjoy the people and things you love, can make peace and happiness feel unattainable. No matter where you are, coaching can help you find solutions and fulfillment.

I have worked extensively with women and men in helping to manage marital conflict, work / family balance, the challenges presented by advancement and retirement, and developing effective workplace behavior.
For the last 30 years of my 40 years in practice, I have had a special interest and focus on conflict management. I have worked closely with colleagues in the private sector and the courts to develop programs and relationships that effectively assist those having difficulty managing their behavior in their interactions with others. Out of this has come my current focus on individual and couples counseling, anger management, and my commitment to change-oriented treatment techniques associated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is low on pretense; high on listening, feedback and direction.

I offer client intensive marriage sessions.
Kevin Bacon was once asked, “What makes your marriage last?” He didn’t miss a beat: “Clean fighting and dirty sex.” He has a point. The way a couple fights truly impacts their health and their relationship. There are additional influences that create disharmony between two people. Loss of connection, loneliness and conflict avoidance are all precursors to infidelity. I work with couples in crisis from the recent discovery of betrayal and/or past addictions and other relationship struggles. Healing won’t be easy, but it is possible. It’s a painful journey that will take time. I work to make that journey easier.

Clients working with me are committed to Soul Work, an introspective journey to discover the “Authentic Self.” With inner clarity, we design a life emphasizing meaning and purpose. I use traditional psychotherapy and experiential therapy, incorporating art, journaling, and somatic work to explore beyond verbal articulation. Though talk therapy is helpful, some experiences transcend words. This is where self-expression and symbolism provide a voice that verbal communication cannot. I use experiential forms of therapy to facilitate this process of exploring identity to promote personal growth.

I know that life can be difficult to navigate on your own. You don't need to discern everything by yourself.

It is sometimes necessary to reach out to professionals who can provide their professional empathic, objective guidance.

Hi! In a world where so many of us regularly get the message that we are flawed, I think it is important to start by saying something that we might not hear so regularly, which is, that it is okay to be you. But if I’m being honest, being yourself is not always an easy thing to do. As a therapist, I place priority in creating a therapy environment where clients feel safe to share the most authentic versions of themselves without fear of judgement. In addition to a safe therapeutic space, my goal is to assist clients on their paths towards self-expression and self-acceptance no matter where they are in their journey.

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.
