Marriage Counseling Therapists in Cape May County, NJ
A clinical psychologist with a Judeo-Christian spiritual base and postdoctoral training in the fields of individual and marital therapy, addiction, psychopharmacology, forensic psychology, and neuropsychology. My philosophy is this: Respect for the individual is the upper most concern because inside each of us is someone who deserves to live his or her life with dignity, joy and positive self regard. Therapy is that process of self-revelation and healing whereby each person shares of themselves in the hope that their doctor will walk with them and teach them how they might live a life of greater peace and happiness.

Over the years, I have treated many clients who are concerned about alcohol/substance abuse, intimacy/relationships, family dysfunction, divorce, re- marriage/step-parenting, chronic pain/illness, mood disorders, sexual trauma and concerns, grief and loss, and adjustment to issues associated with Military life (pertaining to veterans and family members),.
As John Lennon wrote "Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans". In addition to re-adjusting to life after the pandemic, the political landscape may also lead to feeling somewhat disconnected from family and friends. Many people continue to experience anxiety, depression and relationship issues as a result. Most of my clients had initial reservations about trying telehealth but, much like everything else lately, we’re resilient and go with the flow. The benefits of telehealth are that you don’t have to travel, scheduling is much easier and you can be seen wherever you have internet (must be in NJ during session).

Coming from a diverse and experienced background, my qualifications and training in various disciplines have helped me to expand on an innate ability to cater to a client’s individual needs and potential. I do not believe “one size fits all” which means that each client is given services unique to them and the intricacies of their life, their experiences. This approach is coupled with an individual professional style and conscientious quality of service. I run a “gold standard” practice with a personal belief of “people before profits”. Quite simply, I care about people and help people to care about themselves.

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.
