Online Marriage Relationship Counseling Encinitas, Ca

I have a very straight forward and down to earth approach to marriage counseling. I focus on the strengths of a marriage instead of the weaknesses. As we work together, we will focus on improving productive communication. What about your relationship do you love? What makes you crazy? What makes you sad? I will help you learn to open up to your spouse with confidence and listen without anxiety.

marriage counseling encinitasI always feel privileged whenever I am invited into a marriage to assist in rebuilding, repairing and strengthening it. I believe in never giving up on commitments and honoring them to the fullest. This goes for your relationship and my relationship with you. I promise to bring that same level of commitment and persistence as we work together to get your marriage back to where it once was. I love solving complex problems, no matter how challenging.

Marriage isn’t always easy, which I know first hand having been married for 30 years. But when both sides can let go and explore what’s working and not working in the relationship, I can help couples find a solid path for moving forward and grow closer than ever before.

Encinitas Drug, Alcohol & Addiction Counseling

Out of all the various responsibilities I have as a therapist in Encinitas, substance addiction counseling, alcohol counseling or codependency counseling are several of the most significant. When the anguish of a substance or process addiction weighs on a family’s heart, it is all too common to see broken relationships, the potential for divorce, and increasing depression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will We Come To Marriage Counseling Together or Separately?

I prefer to meet with couples together for the first few sessions. This gives you both a chance to discuss the concerns you have with your relationship. In many cases the initial sessions will give both of you some hope that counseling is a productive way to work on your communication and relationship.

Will We Always Have Sessions Together?

After the initial meetings I may want to meet with you on an individual basis as well. This is not always the case, but once we decide on a plan for your marriage therapy, often it will include both individual and joint sessions.

How Long Do The Counseling Sessions Typically Last?

All couples have their own pace and some can work through issues more quickly than others. Other couples need more time to work through more difficult issues. Typical sessions will last from 60 to 90 minutes, but I can tailor this for your individual needs.

How Do I Know If I Need Therapy?

Most people have periods in their life that are filled with sadness, stress, grief or just feeling “off”. Talking with a licensed therapist for any of these feelings can be a productive way to work through your issues. Therapy is not just for “crazy” people and you don’t necessarily need 5 days a week of counseling to start felling better about things. I have clients that I see a few times a year and others that come more frequently. This is entirely based upon the path of treatment and what the individual feels is right for their personal situation.

Can You Help With Anxiety & Depression Issues?

Helping individuals who suffer from anxiety and depression is a huge part of my practice. 

People dealing with anxiety and clinical depression often think that they will never fell normal again and that there is no help.  This is rarely the case.  Seeking help is the first step to conquer depression and begin feeling like yourself again.
