Marriage Counseling

I help many couples and families navigate communication breakdowns, trust issues, and the complexities of modern relationships. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, dating, struggling with conflicts, or rebuilding after betrayal, counseling offers a safe space to heal and grow together.

If you feel distant from your partner, caught in recurring conflicts, or unsure how to restore intimacy, relationship counseling can help. Relationship counseling can help you rebuild trust, improve communication, and restore joy in your partnership.

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, we’ll address the root causes of discord and equip you with tools to thrive.

Types of Relationship Counseling We Offer

1. Premarital Counseling

Marriage is an exciting journey, but it's natural to have questions about finances, communication, and future goals. Through guided discussions and skill-building exercises, we’ll:

- Identify potential conflict areas before they escalate.

- Strengthen teamwork and problem-solving strategies.

- Align on core values like parenting, career goals, and intimacy.

2. Couples Therapy

If communication has broken down, resentment is building, or emotional distance is growing, we’ll focus on:

- Active Listening Techniques: Replace defensiveness with empathy.

- Conflict Resolution: Navigate disagreements without blame.

- Trust-Building: Repair emotional bonds after infidelity or secrecy.

3. Marriage Counseling

Long-term relationships can face challenges - parenting stress, financial strain, or a loss of emotional and physical closeness. Together, we’ll:

- Reignite emotional and physical intimacy.

- Address power imbalances or unmet needs.

- Set shared goals to strengthen your bond.

4. Family Counseling

Blended families, generational trauma, and parenting conflicts often create tension. We’ll work on:

- Boundary-setting with extended family.

- Co-parenting strategies post-divorce.

- Healing family roles that contribute to conflict.
