My graduate training is in Marriage and Family Counseling and I've been informed by the Gottmans' research since 2010.
As human beings, being connected is one of our primary needs. When we lose connection (for some it never happened in the beginning); life seems to spiral in uncomfortable directions. Fear, anxiety, relationship conflict, loneliness, depression, and grief make it difficult to find purpose; to develop sustainable relationships; and to navigate our complicated lives.

I am an Individual, Marriage/Couple, and Family therapist offering evidence-based tele-health "Zoom" counseling sessions for New Mexicans and Washingtonians. My focus on resilience invites clients to utilize and develop their own internal strengths. As they begin to build skills, resolve conflict, improve communication, address challenges in their relationships, and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, many of my clients heal emotional trauma, relieve angst, find hope, and ultimately flourish.

Stressors can come in the form of experiencing conflict in relationships with family, couples, marital and peer groups, as well as grief, trauma and suffering from posttraumatic stress. Stress can also manifest itself when working to maintain a healthy recovery plan that addresses certain medical conditions of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.

In my work as a Marriage and Family therapist I intend to co-create a supportive, secure, and genuine relationship where you feel both safe and challenged to grow.

Challenging life experiences and traumatic experiences can be healed through a felt sense of safety and trust and exploration of patterns and behaviors that limits our authentic self. I have experience working with adults, families, couples, adolescents and children.

The world is constantly changing, and change can be unsettling. Looking back at the last 5 years, the way we interact with people has completely transformed. With that change comes new worries and re-evaluating priorities. Sometimes it helps to have an outside perspective, and I am here as a calm, compassionate and introspective therapist. In my decade of working in the field of therapy I’ve worked with people who struggle with trauma, anxiety, anger and grief. After seeing how many clients had relationships change during the pandemic I decided to focus more of my practice to marriage and couples therapy.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist it provides me a unique perspective on people and their issues.
The Family Connection is a safe, inviting place that helps people to address their own concerns and grow to be the person that they want to be. That person has always been there but is often hidden behind pain and negative self thoughts. I enjoy helping people find what decisions and behaviors have led them to this place of pain and how to make different decisions within their own life, to become more empowered to be the person they have always desired to be.

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.
