Marriage Counseling Therapists in Frisco, TX
Marriages in overwhelm due to technology, work, kids, aging parents, and different schedules often leave no room for margin.
Marriage is messy and personal. Everyday it needs to be kneaded and remade like bread. It is a moving unseen entity that requires both partners to show up and give 110% even when it is hard. Sometimes, defensiveness, stonewalling, criticism, or contempt prevent us from getting our needs met in healthy ways.

I primarily work with adolescents, teens, adults, families and couples on a wide range of counseling issues like: Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Self-harm, PTSD, Marital Issues or Affairs, Rape, Grief/Loss, Divorce, Infertility/Miscarriage, and Child or Adult physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
Each person is unique and so is what they come in with. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, I pull from different treatment protocols to find what best fits you. This isn't a place where I tell you what to do or give advice, but a place where I join in with you in your process and we collaborate together to meet your needs. My goal is for therapy to be as efficient as possible, working through what we need to each session and maximizing a felt connection by undoing aloneness.

Specializing in pre/post- marital counseling, pre/post-divorce guidance for both couples and individuals, infidelity issues, sex therapy, life transitions, and women's health, I advocate for proactive interventions to help clients surmount current challenges.
Navigating marriage and relationships can pose significant challenges. I assist clients across various facets of their lives, including conflict management, financial concerns, commitment issues, sex therapy, communication problems, and navigating divorce. Even if your marriage seems strained, seeking professional guidance can provide you with the necessary tools to cultivate joy within your relationship. The prospect of divorce can leave one feeling directionless, without closure or support. I offer assistance in transitioning towards a brighter future, as there's always more to life beyond this single experience.

As a marriage and family therapist, I work from a relational lens.
It may be no surprise that everyone struggles with something. But that doesn't necessarily make it any easier to feel or cope with your pain. Perhaps you've reached out to trusted friends or family members for support, but are still looking for additional resources. Or maybe what you're struggling with feels too burdensome or difficult to share with those closest to you. It could be, as is often the case, that your primary concern has to do with the very person you would normally confide in! Whatever the situation, I hope to be the extra measure of support you are looking for.

I have a passion for helping adult individuals and couples (married or divorced) in the areas of marriage, parenting, separating, divorce, co-parenting, blended families, trauma, anxiety and life transition.
Relationships are what humans were created for and can be extremely life-giving. However, sometimes we go through hardships that may create distance or unhealthy behavior patterns in these relationships. As a counselor and former educator using a holistic approach, I take into consideration the unique needs and strengths of each individual I work with. I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and understood. By utilizing evidence-based techniques, I assist clients in identifying patterns, gaining self-awareness and developing practical tools to overcome obstacles.

The caring and experienced staff at The Marriage Clinic knows how to help couples get out of these negative cycles.
At The Marriage Clinic we have been saving and strengthening marriages for over 35 years. We understand how hard it is for partners to feel alone in a relationship that was once so close, or to feel they are always letting their partner down or not good enough no matter what they do. We also know how difficult it is for couples who feel they constantly fight with each other, sometimes over seemingly small things or having the same fights over and over.

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.
