We all have a story. We often cling persistently to the stories of our past, where our earliest dysfunctional patterns of relating to others created templates for future relationships. Such templates can be filled with distorted beliefs and expectations of ourselves and others. Your story may have some significant challenges to overcome. But your story doesn’t have to be a tale of woe. And you don't have to change it all by yourself. I'm here to help you rewrite your story so you experience more fulfilling relationships, live more fully in the present, and find the best parts of yourself.

The past is still with you. You try to move beyond it, but it casts a dark shadow over your whole life. You’re constantly on edge, waiting for some unseen threat. Nightmares make it impossible to get much sleep, so you’re always tired. Without warning, panic grips you – heart pounding, palms sweating, struggling to breathe. You live in constant fear of the next trigger. Relationships are all unfulfilling. You try talking to friends and family, but they don’t understand what you’re going through. How could they when you never trust anyone enough to let your guard down? You know something needs to change, but it feels hopeless.

I specialize in building relationships: helping parents get more cooperation and compliance from their children with less energy; helping couples beat the odds to stay happily married; and helping all types of artists connect to their creativity. My clients appreciate creativity and honest communication, value our relationship and time together and are hopeful about the future. They understand that true and lasting change comes from within and is the result of patience and concentrated effort - both in and between sessions. The process encourages clients to tell me what is and isn't working in our sessions.

There is value in knowing we are seen, heard, and understood. In addition to treating anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma, I specialize in grief. Many times, we believe we are stuck, or that there is something abnormal about how long it is taking us to feel “better”. I understand that loss can be an isolating experience. Whether dealing with the death of a family member, friend, or beloved pet, or going through divorce, a cancer diagnosis, unexpected job loss, or an empty nest, how we process and adjust to an altered way of living are specific and unique to each person.

In my practice, I utilize an array of treatment modalities that will help you to make better decisions for yourself, your partner and/or your family.

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.
