Drawing on six years of clinical experience and thirteen years of practical experience dealing with both teens and couples, I help families determine the best approach to life stressors and help couples figure out if their marriage can be saved.
Are you running out of options with how to help your teen deal with various stressors stemming from bullying, depression, social anxiety or past trauma? Are you in a troubled marriage and aren't sure if you should stay or leave? If so, I can help. I specialize in helping parents find solutions to problems that their teens might face by providing solution-oriented, evidenced-based techniques that can be used in both the counseling office and at home. I also assist couples in determining what their best options are in a collaborative, supportive, and compassionate manner.

Unapologetically human-That’s my motto. Each person is simply trying to navigate life's ebbs and flows as best as they can. Societal pressures and life stressors can be an immense weight to carry alone. Trauma, isolation, depression, and anxiety add additional weight that can be unbearable to manage. Viewing each individual as a whole and unique person, I believe that fostering authenticity and self-awareness is vital for healing and wellness. Imagine waking up feeling fully rested and greeting the day with wonder and curiosity. That's what I aim for: to instill a hopeful, yet realistic perspective and unearth your true self.

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.
