Is your marriage in trouble? Have you been trying to find a good solution and haven't found the right help yet? No one is ever taught how to be in a healthy romantic relationship, so it's not surprising that 50% of marriages end in divorce while another 30% of couples report significant challenges. If you have been struggling with communication issues, resentment, an affair, or a sexless marriage, then I can help. Unfortunately, almost half of the couples who get divorced report they regret it later. So before you make such an important decision about your future, let me help you give your marriage the best chance at success.

I specialize in Marriage Retreats, also known as Intensive Couples Therapy Retreats. Many couples have told me that they accomplished more in 3 days with me versus a year or more of traditional therapy. Spending a few hours during a retreat allows us to deal with the root cause of the conflict instead of having to end a session just as progress starts.

When your marriage is in crisis, it can feel like your whole world is failing. I understand that every couple has to make a careful decision about how to invest in their relationship, and I have a proven track record of helping couples who feel like nothing else has worked. Contact me today for a free consultation, or visit my website to learn more.

Intensive Couples Therapy is not covered by insurance. These days, most marriage counseling will cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 over the course of 365 days. A couples retreat is within the same range, but you will get even better results in only 3 days.
