While life contains many moments of happiness and laughter, it also unfortunately delivers many stressful and overwhelming experiences. When these situations arise, we often feel isolated, distracted, and flooded with anxiety and depression. We may talk to our friends and family for help and ideas; however, sometimes having a caring and supportive therapist can be tremendously beneficial. Sometimes, we need to vent in privacy. Sometimes, we need to process emotional events that have happened and very personal memories from our past.

I work with clients from a very wide diversity of experiences and identities. I have significant experience focusing on issues of sexual functioning and pleasure, desire in longterm relationships, gender and/or sexual identity, and healing from sexual violence and/or complex trauma. I notice that these often occur alongside depression, anxiety and other mood-related challenges. As every person is unique, I have learned that how I work is also unique to each therapeutic relationship. My clinical work integrates exploring and understanding one's deeply held values, and working to build a life that reflects these.

I believe that I am not much different from many of the clinicians working for GENNEW, providing outpatient therapy services. I like to work with clients from all different backgrounds. I believe that I work well with both anxiety and depression, but especially dealing with those who want to understand themselves better. The clients that will have the greatest benefit in working with me have an internal desire for change and are ready to do the work. This doesn't mean that I don't have patience, but I have found that those who come geared for change seem to attain it in less time.

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.
