Therapy & Coaching

Have You Been Settling for Less in Your Marriage?

Of course you’re grateful for the ring, the house, the kids, and/or whatever precious milestones you and your partner have reached together, yet somewhere along the way, you know a distance has been growing between you…

You know such things are merely symbols that can indicate a loving union between two people, but they are certainly NOT what make up a truly meaningful and quality marriage.

You can feel alone or unfulfilled in your marriage,
even DESPITE the ring, the home,
the kids, or in reaching other traditional milestones…

 A quality marriage thrives on thoughtful conversations, a mutual presence of heart and mind, and a mutual willingness to set aside consistent & intentional quality time with one another at every chance (even despite the most stubborn obstacles).

A healthy & fulfilling relationship cannot grow or survive in name alone; it must be actively nurtured and valued in physical, mental, and emotional ways.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who’s helped batches of different couples struggling with a wide range of challenges (and having worked through many ups & downs with my own husband), I’m so dedicated to disproving the belief that your relationship “just is what it is” or that “falling out of love is just a part of life.“

I’ve witnessed couples strengthen the connection and satisfaction in their
relationship in ways they didn’t think were possible either and even to the point that they’d end up telling me how grateful they were that they MADE the time to work toward something better together… and I’m fortunate to say that putting in the work has had similar results for my own relationship too.

This is why I lovingly urge you today to rethink what’s possible for your marriage and to start letting yourself believe that more, better, HAPPIER is not some fairytale luxury, but a reality you deserve.

How can we work together?

I offer telehealth Therapy/Coaching packages to adult individuals and romantic couples who are on a mission to
strengthen their relationship connections as quickly & efficiently as possible—
and the cost of your initial session is on me!

"You let me be myself, you shared in my pain, you laughed at my humor, but most of all, you saw me as a real person."

You have earned my respect and admiration, you helped me bring a better part of me into this new life I’m about to start. Thank you once again for all your help all your kindness and all your caring and professionalism. Very few people these days impress me but you have.

"Working with you has been life-changing!"

– Coaching Client, Married 25 Years

"You have helped shift my perspectives, helped me create boundaries, taught me how to love myself as I am, guided me during one of the roughest periods of my life, and helped me find my healthy adult self."

You’re the best at what you do and I am sure you hear that all the time, you are touching the lives of many everyday and not just mine. You have made such a tremendous impact on my life and I WOULD NOT be where I am today if it were not for your unconditional support and care. For all of this I cannot thank you enough!

– Therapy Client, 3-Year Relationship

The hustle, bustle, and obstacles of daily life (especially these days) have made it so that our world is not so relationship-friendly. My many years in private practice helping clients work through the relationship-repercussions of it all has now made it the main focus of my efforts.

I’ve come to realize that lack of quality time spent engaging in their relationships continues to be at the heart of so much of the pain and suffering my clients/couples bring to me session after session and that things simply cannot continue to go on this way.

If we want more satisfying HEALTHY relationships we can’t just settle for passing time together. We have to make efforts to create space for QUALITY time together.

Quality time requires intention, planning, and meaning — it’s having deeper discussions with your partner about more than what you should add to this week’s grocery list. It’s more than spending the last few minutes before bed discussing who will walk the dog in the morning or take care of the school drop-off/pick-up. And it’s so much more than those ‘go-through-the-motion’ kisses hello and goodbye that you’ve been giving each other for the last however many years.

Quality time is taking a long drive with your partner somewhere you’ve never been (or haven’t been in a while). It’s taking a walk and holding hands, being in the moment discussing the silly, curious, pretty things you’ll see along your path. It’s pulling out the old photo album from the attic and reminiscing on moments and experiences you’ve had together.

Quality time in your relationship is about feeling and dreaming together again.
It’s about repairing hurts, having fun, learning (daily) how to take better care of one another, and just putting love into action.

My hope is that you won’t go another day, week, month, or YEAR settling for what’s not feeling good in your marriage and that you’ll take the first step today to reach out for support. There’s nothing more worthwhile than working for the marriage you deserve and the person you love most.

This work is my GIFT, my JOY, and my PASSION and I’d be so grateful for the chance to share it with you.

I’m ready when you are.
