After working in youth ministry for 10 years I received my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy & Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary.
There are times in life when the grips of despair, brokenness, and shame tear us down. When hardship, loss, conflict, and confusion disconnect us from ourselves and others. When our thoughts, our feelings, our choices, and our relationships all seem to be burdensome. When we feel stuck. We know we need help, we need change, we need health; but we have no idea what to do or where to find it. Finding trusted support during these seasons of life can be difficult, but the reward for facing these struggles can be immense.

As a P-LPC at Carter Collaborative Counseling, my areas of specialty include work with adolescents, marriage and family therapy, anger management, and play therapy.
Hey y'all! When we arrive at therapy, it is often because things in our lives or the lives of loved ones aren't going as we hoped, and it is a joy and privilege to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. If we have the opportunity to work together, my hope is that you experience the power of healing in a safe and supportive environment and leave our time together with a renewed sense of peace, joy, and hope. You are a key part of the therapy process, and I promise to work just as hard as I'll ask you to. If you're ready to commit to this process, I am confident we'll find what is effective for you and your family.

My background is in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am a Registered Play Therapist , which means I believe our issues are connected with our personal/cultural relationships.
Hello! It's a joy for me to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. Sometimes it's embarrassing to ask questions about what’s normal and what isn't -i.e., "Am I a bad parent because my child doesn't listen?" or "Is something wrong with me because my relationships keep failing?" I work to provide an open environment for my clients to both process these questions and find solutions. My ideal client values both their personal and loved ones’ mental health. It's an honor to come alongside adults and children with painful histories and increase healthy options for your future.

All clients are different, each of us has our own unique concerns, struggles and past. An individual who is seeking mental health services is seeking someone who can not only assist them in understanding their mental health concerns, but someone who is knowledgeable and will provide support and empathy. As a therapist, I listen to my clients when they describe their current as well as past life situations. I utilize what I hear in their words to create a mode of treatment that will work uniquely for them.

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.
