How This Helps

Reconnect, restore, and sometimes rebuild.

Every relationship is unique, so I collaborate with both of you to create meaningful goals that help your partnership thrive. Romance, connection, and healthy communication are essential, so together we'll work to help you reconnect, restore, and sometimes rebuild your bond.

Sessions draw on Gottman Method techniques alongside Emotionally Focused Therapy, with faith-based and biblical tools woven in when requested. This isn't a one-size-fits-all script — it's built around your relationship's specific history and goals.

Who This Is For

Couples and families at any stage.

Whether you're newly engaged and want to start strong, married and navigating a rough season, or parenting through conflict and co-parenting challenges, this work meets you where you are.

What A Session Looks Like

Sessions happen in a private, in-person practice setting — not a clinical office. We start by understanding what's not working, then build toward concrete, practical steps you can both commit to between sessions.

Faith can be part of the conversation if you'd like it to be, but it's never required or assumed.

What We'll Work On

The Four Pillars of Love™

I've designed four pillars that I believe are crucial to a strong marriage — without fulfillment of all of them, a marriage will struggle to thrive.

1

Spiritual Intimacy

Sharing faith, values, and a sense of shared purpose as a couple.

2

Emotional Intimacy

Feeling truly known, heard, and safe with your partner.

3

Physical Intimacy

Connection and affection that keeps a marriage close, not just cordial.

4

Financial Intimacy

Shared honesty and teamwork around money and long-term goals.

The takeaway: you might be strong in one area but lacking in another — and nurturing all four is what builds a thriving, lasting marriage.
Why Choose This Practice

Real experience, a proven method, no judgment.

36 years of lived experience

Real seasons of a long marriage inform this work — not just clinical training, but lived experience alongside it.

Gottman Method & Four Pillars

A structured, evidence-based approach paired with a clear framework for spotting exactly where a relationship needs attention.

Faith welcome, never required

Biblical and faith-based tools are available on request, but every couple is met with warmth and zero judgment either way.

Common Questions

Before your first session

Do you offer pre-marital counseling?

Yes — pre-marital sessions use the same Gottman-based approach to help you build a strong foundation before the wedding.

What if only one partner wants to attend?

That's okay. We can start with individual sessions and bring your partner in when they're ready, or work individually on what's within your control.

Is faith part of every session?

No. Faith-based and biblical tools are available if you'd like them, but they're never assumed or required.

Do you see families, not just couples?

Yes, family sessions are available for conflict, parenting challenges, and rebuilding communication among family members.
