You're a high achieving woman with anxiety and trauma. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive." Everyone comes to you for help, but your needs aren't even on the radar. Even in your marriage. You've pushed the trauma so deep down that you're in survival mode. On the outside things seem great, but you don't know how to stop people pleasing, perfectionism or how to speak your mind to your loved ones. You've prayed and read books, but you're drowning on the inside. You need long-lasting change NOW so you can continue to move to the next level and thrive. That's where brainspotting trauma therapy comes in.

Are you having difficulty feeling heard, understood or respected in your relationship? You are successful, and thrive in other areas of your life, but feel at a loss in your own marriage. Perhaps you do not even feel like a priority. The once safe place of the couple has turned into another place of stress and conflict. Or perhaps you are a woman going through a major life transition and feel completely alone and misunderstood. In either case, you are ready to see a shift in your life. You are ready for a change and to feel heard, connected, and empowered again. Most of all, you want to be YOU again! I can help you get there.

But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to start living authentically. You're ready to be proud of who you are. But, most of all, you're prepared not to hide anymore!

A significant part of my practice is in marital therapy.
My clients come from many situations. Mostly they come to me with brokenness, some are addicted to drugs, alcohol and/or sex. Some struggle inside their marriages. Others arrive with deep longings to be of value or feel worthy. I see a large number of men with sexual addiction. I see wives that feel traumatized and betrayed. Often people arrive in my office in a crisis. Most couples I see are in some form of a conflict cycle; they each have hurt feelings and cannot seem to get unstuck from the cycle. As I also conduct psychological assessments, some clients come to me to to be tested for various reasons, such as legal issues

Seeking therapy can be hard. There are concerns that the therapist may not understand or may try to push something you do not believe in. We may fear judgment or struggle with shame. You are accepted here. The world sends us the message you don't belong or you are too damaged. That is not God's voice. In marriage, in parenting, in life, God provides His Word to guide us because He loves us so much. We get stuck in generational bondage, overwhelming circumstances, or confusion over what God desires for us. We would love to help you sort that out as you seek to feel better and have better relationships with others.

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.
