Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in providing couples therapy services that are designed to heal, nurture, and revitalize your relationship. Whether you are experiencing conflicts, struggling with trust issues, or simply looking to enhance your emotional connection, as an experienced therapist, I am here to guide you on this journey of growth and rediscovery. My approach to working with those in a partnership emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and personal growth. Just like the metaphor of putting on your own oxygen mask first, I highlight the significance of taking care of oneself before attending to others. This approach acknowledges that individuals have control over themselves and their actions, and it encourages one to reflect on their emotional state and how they contribute to the relationship.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I use the four (or more) session model for relationship counseling. For the first session I meet with all the partners to establish what issues brought them to counseling. Then in the second and third (or more) sessions I meet with each partner individually so that they can say things to me that they don't want to say in front of their partner(s) and then for the fourth session I meet with all the partners together to review what I have learned and lay out my proposed treatment moving forward. I have found this method to be very effective, especially when compared to strictly relationship sessions.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach relationship and marriage counseling with a holistic and faith-centered perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide couples toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Recognizing the significance of marriage in Christian teachings, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their challenges, fostering communication and understanding. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I integrate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on marital virtues into the therapeutic process. I collaborate with couples to address specific issues, offering evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual guidance to navigate conflicts and promote relational growth. This integrated approach seeks to strengthen the marital bond, help couples align their actions with their Christian values, and foster a deeper connection that withstands the challenges of life within the context of their faith.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Relationship and marriage counseling, or couples therapy, enhances communication, resolves conflicts, and reinforces the emotional bond between partners in a romantic relationship or marriage. Couples therapy is intended to provide a secure and supportive environment for couples to address issues, increase their mutual understanding, and work toward a healthier and more gratifying relationship.
Couples therapy is most effective when both partners are willing to actively participate and engage with an open mind and commitment to change. It provides a valuable opportunity for couples to overcome obstacles, enhance their communication, and strengthen their connection, fostering a healthier and more satisfying relationship. If you and your companion are experiencing difficulties in your relationship or marriage, a qualified couples therapist can provide invaluable support and direction.
