An important part of my work is fostering greater understanding, intimacy and satisfaction for couples and families. As I listen closely, compassionately and thoroughly, I can assist you in developing and enhancing the skills you need to improve your relationships.

Dr. Marcelo uses a shor-term, solution focused approach to marital therapy. Couples examine the interactions, communication, and roles that are working and those that are not. As opposed to continuing the "blame game", individuals take responsibility for change.

In working with couples and families, I strive to uncover and work through the underlying issues that lie behind the negative patterns that have created the unhappiness that prompted seeking of help through counseling.

I have experience working with couples struggling in their marriage who desire to work through stuck places to rebuild a connected intimate marriage. I also work with premarital couples and utilize assessment tools for both using the PREPARE/ENRICH.

We work with a variety of issues-Depression, Anger, Anxiety (group and individual formats), Bipolar disorder, Trauma, Child and Adolescent work (males and females), Sexual Abuse, Play Therapy, Family therapy, Cultural issues (adapting to the western culture), and LGBTQ.

I am most often asked to help with communication in marriage, family and other relationships. Each person needs to feel heard and understood in order to feel close. Creating an open atmosphere where creative solutions are found is essential in preserving relationships.
