If you are a single mother with a son that "you love but don't know what to do next", call me!!! If you are in a marriage that is "on the rocks" , call me!!!.
My ideal client are young males ages 6-18, and married men who want to be better husbands and fathers. Growing up in households without male role models often has boys/men needing guidance. Without guidance can lead to current and future family dysfunction leading to divorce, duplicating fatherless homes, and making bad choices in life. I UNDERSTAND what it is like to have that "absent father void". I also understand what it is like to be a husband trying his best to become "that good father and husband" to his wife. Let's talk about how to get there. Please stay encouraged.

My husband, Stacey, and I conduct pre/post- marital counseling together when requested.
My passion and commitment are to help individuals and couples become whole in every area of their life; so they can be the best versions of their selves. I lead each session with empathy, warmth, and focus; so that we can get to the “root" of the problem, which often leads to additional stress, depression, and anxiety. My grounding belief is that we are all broken in different ways and in different places, but you do not have to remain broken.

I have experience working in various settings with different populations, problems, and symptoms including; anxiety, depression, trauma, marital/couples issues, family conflict, bipolar disorder, BPD, domestic abuse, and substance use.
I believe big changes happen as a result of taking small, needed steps. Creating space allows for someone to become "unstuck" from old beliefs, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking which are harmful and no longer useful. I use a primarily solution-focused approach and a systemic lens while working with my clients. Life is constantly moving and changing and it is important, on a journey towards growth and healing, that a person/couple/family feel supported and equipped to handle life's challenges. Whatever problems, symptoms, or issues are presented, I work to move my clients forward in a positive and meaningful direction.

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.
