Most couples want a marriage where they can be vulnerable with each other. Where intimacy and loyalty come together and create a beautiful friendship where they can experience the fullness of life together. The problem is, many couples often feel isolated and uncared for because of unmet expectations, miscommunication, and mistrust. I know it's frustrating when you feel like you aren't on the same team or how sad it feels when you second-guess if you made the right choice when you said “I do.”
I believe that couples can overcome hardship. I am a premarital and marriage therapist. I help people who love each other overcome their communication and relationship challenges to have the fulfilling relationship they desire.
If you are looking for premarital or marriage counseling, if you want to be happy but questioning if it is possible, if you want to stop feeling disconnected and discouraged about where your relationship is headed and instead rebuild trust and intimacy, schedule an appointment today.

For couples therapy, there is no set time frame. Some couples need 4 sessions, others need 9-12 months or more of weekly sessions. I use a combination of practical skills that are taught in session and can be practiced outside of session. I also deal with emotional wounds that take multiple sessions to unpack and process. My goal is to help you both feel heard and understood by your partner.
