I diagnose and treat problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, sexuality issues, eating disorders, behavioral problems, grief and loss and marital and family discord.
The opportunity to engage with someone who really "gets you" at a deep level can have remarkable transformational power. I am passionate about helping people as they undergo major transitions in their lives such as loss, changing jobs, leaving for college, getting married or divorced. Together we explore new ways of understanding yourself, allowing you greater freedom to shape your future. We work towards discovering your unique path to self awareness, helping you to understand yourself, better define and reach your goals and help you find fulfillment and satisfaction.

Feelings of Trauma, Anxiety or Anger can be overcome with insightful, compassionate therapy. Do negative feelings get in the way of your happiness, personal strength, or peace of mind? Is your marriage or family life suffering? Have you tried different forms of therapy to overcome a past trauma? Or are you just trying to make sense of thoughts or feelings that keep you down? Unlike traditional therapy, Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) can offer positive results right away. RRT focuses on identifying and resolving the root causes of trauma or anxiety rather than just managing the symptoms.

Life can be wonderful, but often comes with many surprisingly hard twists and turns (e.g., marriage, divorce, adolescence, relocating, mid-life, crises and loss). Changes in health and chronic medical issues can be among the most difficult as they can be lasting, painful, and with serious consequences. Sometimes you need someone trustworthy, knowledgable and caring to walk you through some of the hardest times and I would be honored to do so.

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.
