We are all faced with the challenges through the journey of finding purpose, fulfillment and identity. You might feel like you are being stretched in a million different directions right now. Maybe you are having difficulty making the "right" decision about your job, your friendships, or your romantic relationships. Perhaps stress, anxiety or depression is getting in the way of bringing your true self to your interactions and performance. If you've found yourself reading through this page, then perhaps there is a part of you that is ready to explore a different way of living. And yes, it is possible.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 30 years, the last 20 being in private practice. Sometimes it helps to have a place to put your stress and feelings so you can release them and take a break from them. I offer a safe space to explore and process your feelings. I teach coping strategies, or reinforce the ones you already use.

My ideal client has been through a lot, and who has been relatively resilient in the face of challenges. They now need to let go of the emotional weight that they've carried as a result of their unprocessed experiences. I adore working with teen girls and young women on body image, self-image, and self-esteem issues, help young people with confidence, and the clarity to move forward in life. My ideal client is highly motivated to work through whatever has been holding them back, are committed to their own healing path, and is forward-looking. I am also happy to serve whoever needs the support!

Is life unmanageable? Are you sad, hopeless, fearful? Are you struggling in your relationships? Does life feel meaningless and purposeless? In life, we all face seasons of suffering, and I would love the opportunity to come alongside you in that season. We are not meant to do life alone and sometimes we need some extra support to help us gain skills for coping or relating to ourselves and others. In my practice, my goal is to help you gain mental health that will impact all the other areas of your life for good.

There are so many mixed messages coming both from with in and without that it is so easy to become lost in it all. Looking forward can trigger anxiety, looking back can bring on depression, and we don't know what to do in the present to find some relief and direction. Sometimes we even do some out of the way things to try and solve what we have going on, in the end we feel lost and alone.

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.
