A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

I teach couples how to communicate as a team. I have discovered that what became a big problem with couples is that they got in a rut, existing on auto-pilot. Whether one or both of you begins therapy, your relationship will improve in studying how it's been going.

We will work as a team to help you to find the spark that drew you together. We will work to uncover the patterns of behavior and communication that have dampened that spark. We will discover ways to rebuild and reawaken the hopes and dreams of spending a life together.
