I can assist you in transforming your relationship from one that causes pain to one where you give each other pleasure and strive for a common purpose.

By working together, you can develop a joy-filled, fulfilling marriage that lasts a lifetime. Through couples or marriage therapy, I will not only help you discover why you are having difficulties, but also assist you in finding concrete solutions.

I am in a loving, fulfilling, marriage and know what it takes to make a relationship work. My husband and I know that life will always present challenges to us, but because we have a shared view of what a loving relationship is we are able to face these challenges together and grow stronger because of them. The knowledge and experience I have gained in my own relationship will help me understand your problems and model the skills I know are important for a lasting and happy marriage.
