Marriage counseling can be beneficial to couples in any stage of their relationship.  I help couples learn how to better understand each other’s needs, regain a feeling of closeness and peace in the relationship, and manage periods that are known to be hard on couples (e.g. coping with infertility, becoming parents, managing blended families).

Dr. O'Keefe is a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist.  She uses a combination of empirically validated therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Researchers have demonstrated that the most important factor in the success of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist.  The client needs to feel genuinely heard and respected, while trusting in the professional relationship.  Sometimes clients say that they've tried therapy previously and it "didn't work."  Often times these may be cases of a mismatch between the client and therapist.  Consider trying therapy again if you find yourself in this position.
