Build the foundations for a lifelong marriage.

Build the foundations for a lifelong marriage.

No one enters marriage expecting divorce.

Did you know that researchers can predict with 90% accuracy which engaged couples may end up divorcing? While that might sound alarming, it doesn’t mean your relationship is destined for the same path! Counseling offers a chance to assess your relationship and learn essential skills to keep you and your partner connected and happy. Couples who find it difficult to communicate during challenging conversations face a higher risk of divorce. Conflict, or even avoiding it, can slowly chip away at the positive feelings in a relationship. If any of this resonates with you, there’s hope—millions of couples have strengthened their relationships through counseling.

Be the best partner for each other.

You can deepen the connection and sense of safety in your relationship, leading to greater commitment and happiness. With my guidance, you can experience those transformative “aha moments” where real change happens. By seeing your relationship, your partner, and yourself in a new light, meaningful shifts can occur. You and your partner can learn how to be the best support for one another while developing the skills to maintain trust, communicate effectively even on difficult topics, and find common ground on hot-button issues like money, faith, sex, and extended family. Arguments are a normal part of even the happiest marriages—what truly matters is how you handle them and whether they are resolved.

While we all deserve to love and be loved, our experiences with relationships growing up can challenge our ability to stay connected to others over the course of our lives. Relationship education can help couples and individuals understand how to build relationship foundations that they can build upon. Understanding the science of attachment, how to grow emotional intelligence, and personality differences are invaluable for helping you and your relationship thrive. With relationship foundations you can experience those transformative “aha moments” where real change happens.

We are more than the sum of our parts. While psychology is crucial for helping us understand ourselves and facilitating change, it does not explain or address the spiritual core of who we are. Psychospiritual therapy, on the other hand, creates a foundation in love that enables us to evolve beyond the fear rooted in our survival instincts. Psychospiritual Therapy is based on psychological science and theory while also integrating the ancient wisdom of loving spirituality.
