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.

I Enjoy Helping Families, Couples & Individuals In Oceanside
Oceanside is fun coastal town at the north end of San Diego county, bordering Camp Pendleton, the largest Marine Corps base in California which covers over 125,000 acres and 17 miles of coastline. One of the primary attractions in Oceanside is the downtown pier area. The Oceanside pier was first built in 1888. The current pier is the 6 iteration of this great landmark.
The Oceanside harbor has a bunch of great shops and places to eat including Rockin’ Baja Lobster and Harbor Fish & Chips. If you’re a fan of craft beers, Oceanside has some of the best brew pubs in all of San Diego. Be sure to try out the Stone Company Store, Bagby’s Brewing, Breakwater Brewing Co. and The Local Tap House (LTH). One of the nicest parts of Oceanside is that it’s close to nearly all of the big San Diego attractions including the San Diego Zoo/Safari Park, LegoLand, and SeaWorld.
