We are not made to do life alone, and I am here to support you in your journey of healing. Let therapy be something that you allow into your life, as a means of both working through pain and growing in insight as an individual.

Relationship issues suck the fun out of life. They can drain your energy and even make you feel like you're dying inside. Whether it is your marriage, a committed, or other significant relationship, if it is not healthy, you won't feel healthy either. Relationship issues are like a dark cloud hanging over your head. Not to mention, the mental gymnastics involved in managing negative thoughts can be exhausting. The disconnect between the perception your friends have of you versus your relationship reality, only adds to your burden. The true reality is, good relationships are essential to our health and happiness.

I strive to be a radically honest therapist with a mission to help all people navigate self-exploration. I believe emotions are informative to the quality of our life experience. I also believe we live in a world full of a lot of information and that feels overwhelming. I feel when people understand their emotions, they can take control of their life. My clinical experience has focused on serving active duty-military members and their families. With this professional experience and as an Air Force & Army dependent, I am most familiar with the unique culture and dynamic of being a military family member.

Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm glad you're here. The simple fact that you're reading this is a positive sign that you're ready for change. It's quite possible that you aren't exactly sure what you're looking for. But you're looking, and that's the first and often most difficult step. Knowing that something is "off" yet being unclear of what, may feel both confusing and frustrating. Despite seemingly having it all together and meeting of the markers that symbolize success. One persisting question remains. "Is this all there is?" I'm going out on a limb here to say the answer is a resounding "NO". There's more, so much more!

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.
