Marriage Counseling Therapists in Copperas Cove, TX
With over 20 years of clinical experience in the areas of military issues, PTSD and trauma, mood disorders, and marriage and family, I would love to take the journey with you on the road to healing.
"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us". Emotional trauma creates a loss of faith that there is any predictability or safe place in which to retreat. The trauma can take on a life of its own, and prevents normal life from developing until help is sought. Successful treatment allows healing to take place so you can resume living. My aim is to help you work through painful events, both past and present, so you can feel empowered, reestablish a connection with yourself and other people, and to find meaning in life again.

People say lots of things about therapy. Some are flowery, some are complicated, some are just way out there. So, let’s be real…what can therapy do for you? Even better, what can I do for you? I have trained for and gained experience in helping people solve problems. Whether those people are couples, part of a family, or just out there on their own, we all need other people to help us see what we do not see for themselves.

When important moments are interrupted by unresolved thoughts or emotions, everyday could be a challenge to get through. I know it can be hard to focus on those days. Sometimes talking or seeing things from a different point of view can help. Together we can create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings to find what works best for you.

Our office believes that access to counseling should be easy and comfortable. I personally try my best to never turn away a client, schedule immediately, and work with any financial barriers. Although I work with a variety of treatment goals and treatment modalities, I am known for my work with children, trauma experienced populations, relationship counseling, addictions, military and advocacy for community health. When working with children, I always involve the parents and I attempt to assess in a variety of settings to assure I have the entire picture. Counseling should feel comfortable and safe.

I believe that every person can benefit from counseling at some point in their life. We all face struggles with achieving our goals, understanding and overcoming hurtful life experiences, or resolving conflicts with others. It can be extremely helpful to have a compassionate, unbiased, and supportive person to talk to when these issues arise.

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.
