I specialize in marriage and couples counseling. A loving partnership is based on a foundation of trust, respect and commitment. My counseling helps couples to rebuild their foundation for a stronger loving relationship. I have worked over 30 years as a marriage and family therapist in Georgia. For the past 18 years I have focused solely on marriage and couples counseling. My clients are diversified and range in age from 20s to their 80s. I have treated couples from many varied religions and cultures. My goal is to help individuals change their behavior toward each other to save their relationship and create a stronger union.

Affairs
You can survive an affair. Better than 50% of my practice is with couples who have been affected by some type of affair. The goal is to over come the pain and rebuild trust for both individuals.
Common Problems
Other issues include lack of sexual intimacy, better coparenting, blended family, loss of a family member, when one or both partners have depression or anxiety, elder care, and substance abuse problems.
Premarital Counseling
I particular enjoy premarital counseling. My goal is to help the couple set a foundation for their marriage. I work with first married as well as second marriage couples.
Teletherapy
Teletherapy has enabled me to have a much broader reach, seeing clients all over Georgia. I offer teletherapy through Doxy.me which is an encrypted medical platform to insure privacy. With the Covid epidemic, I have done marriage and couples counseling using teletherapy for four years. To my surprise I was able to establish intimate and productive sessions. The success of the counseling is ultimately dependent on how hard the couple work outside the therapy.
Costs
The cost is $100 a session. Therapy in most cases is 10 to 20 sessions over 6 months. Premarital counseling is usually 6 to 12 sessions. The harder you work at home the less time with me. As the couple progresses we move from weekly sessions to every other week. I accept credit cards and checks for payme
