What was their home like? How did it affect the way you relate to love and marriage? Do either of you carry scars from past traumas? • How do your personalities match – or not match - because of your past? • What do you and your partner need to be happy?.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! We all want this. We all deserve this. Especially in our romantic relationships. So why do things go wrong? Lack of communication. The good news is, loving communication is a skill that can be learned. Even after years of feeling stuck. When couples learn to talk about issues in a loving way, their whole relationship improves. (Yes, even in the bedroom!) Here's what we'll cover in counseling: • How to bring up a problem that’s bothering you. • How to listen with an open heart. • How to make sure your partner feels heard. • How to come together to create solutions.

I have a passion for those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, behavioral addictions, identity and self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and sports performance. My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, faith-based, and incorporates tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. However, my utmost priority is understanding the person in front of me and adjusting my interventions to suit their unique needs. As a licensed professional counselor in training, I am equipped to work with older adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Everyone needs a safe place to vent, a place where you can unpack the thoughts inside of your mind without judgement or criticism. Stress can become overwhelming, often times it can become paralyzing. Life stressors can cause illness, anxiety, depression and despair. When this occurs, it can be difficult to know where to find help and continue moving forward on your journey. It is often easier to ignore your own needs and focus on others' needs instead.

Sometimes you feel like life just isn’t what you hoped. Maybe for reasons you know, or ones you can’t quite figure out. Whether it’s your relationships, career, or sense of self, you want something to be different but don’t know how to get there. Even when you try to make a change it's hard to feel like anything is good enough. You’re left with a sense of longing, or worry that there must be something wrong with you. It just seems easier for everyone else.

Normal is a setting on a dryer. We are all unique and valid individuals with vast minds. We all have different situations and I believe in using those pieces to heal and build strength. While I specialize in trauma, addiction, and mood, our struggles are usually not that one note or simple. I focus on all aspects of who you and where you want to be, building a strong relationship based on empathy, trust and non judgement. Life is rough, we lose sight of our way, stop seeing the beauty, forget who we are, feel stuck or changed. It takes courage to be vulnerable and reality is we are imperfectly perfect.

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.
