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! Relationship 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.

Relationship Counseling can help you become 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.

Depth Therapy was created by the psychiatrist Carl Jung. Depth Therapy is ideal for individuals who are ready to do a deep dive into hidden feelings and memories that influence relationships, well-being, and living into your peak potential. An essential goal of depth therapy is what Jung called individuation, which involves integrating the different aspects of your personality into a unified whole, empowering you to become your best self.

Depth Therapy is ideal for people who have accomplished many life goals. They may have achieved a successful career and have a stable family life, but they still want to explore new paths for self-expression and contribution to the world.

This powerful method of psychotherapy uses techniques like dream analysis, journaling, active imagination, narrative therapy, and applying the meaning found in wisdom literature and mythology.Learn more here
