Does saying “I Do” feel like a life sentence? Relationships struggling to maintain trust, communication, connection, and undirectional flow can quickly begin to feel like a prison sentence. Escalated arguments, time management, career conflicts, financial strain, intimacy, and sexual issues slam the cell door closed, isolating partners from their dreams, goals, and desires. Feeling stuck, stressed, and sad while caught in a never-ending cycle of negativity and blame causes a downward spiral of depression, anger, and frustration.

At times we need an outside perspective, and maybe just someone to listen to us, when life seems hard or complicated. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and, above all, genuine.
