“I have been reflecting on this theme for a while now - the intertwining of joy and suffering.”

“I have been reflecting on this theme for a while now - the intertwining of joy and suffering.”

I recently returned from an extended family vacation. Between my siblings, parents, and I, we came from 3 different states and stayed under one roof for a week. There were 14 kids under the age of 13. People are always shocked when they hear this. Not only does our family make the effort to vacation...

“It’s funny how you can be reflecting on your kid’s baseball game one minute, and the next minute, you see your therapy couples with similar dilemmas flashing before your eyes.”

It’s funny how you can be reflecting on your kid’s baseball game one minute, and the next minute, you see your therapy couples with similar dilemmas flashing before your eyes. Themes of fear, risk, and dissonance between the mind and the body fit within both spaces. For my son, it started during...

“Don’t get caught in your own “who done it” mystery, seek repair and connection and enjoy your “happily ever after.””

“Don’t get caught in your own “who done it” mystery, seek repair and connection and enjoy your “happily ever after.””

The sky is the limit when it comes to the types of problems couples present with in my office. There’s the typical issues of money, s*x, or in-laws. There’s the deeper issues of trauma, mental illness, or infidelity. And many times, interwoven, there are the issues of who’s right and who’s w...

“When you feel like life is at its busiest is the exact time when these two relationships should be prioritized.”

“When you feel like life is at its busiest is the exact time when these two relationships should be prioritized.”

I remember when I was a young wife, new employee in a full-time position, and living permanently away from my parents for the first time. Throw in a husband who traveled a lot - it’s easy to see how the increased demands and responsibilities of life were overwhelming. It felt like I barely had any...

“We all have needs, and asking for those needs to be met doesn’t make you “needy”, it makes you human.”

Check out my latest blog post on asking for your needs to be met ⬇️

Anyone who has a baby or toddler knows how hard it can be to figure out their needs. Parents often try the obvious things first - food, nap, their favorite toy. When the child starts to become verbal, we may even ask them - do you want grapes? Are you sleepy? A parent is happy to oblige to a request...

I’m back at it! Check out my latest blog post ⬇️

“In order to move back into connection and communion with your husband or wife, consider doing what seems paradoxical, dropping your self-protection, exposing the wrongdoing, confessing it, talking about it, asking for forgiveness for it.”

Recently my three year old broke something of mine, and when I asked her about it, she did two things: 1 - she lied (“It wasn’t me, brother did it”) and 2 - she hid. At first she hid behind the chair. I managed to coax her out, and as she drew closer to me, she continued to hide her face behin...

“How many times has your partner tried to convey something to you with their words and you just can’t make sense of it?”

Check out my latest blog to read about the power of nonverbals! 👇

Have you ever listened to a two year old talk? As my two year old comes into her personality, one thing I’ve enjoyed is witnessing her self-expression. I joke that she has a lot to say, though I can only understand about half of it! We were playing this weekend and she came up to me asking for som...

New blog post ⬇️ Read how I was inspired by Sr. Miriam’s, “Behold” Advent book to look deeper at the role tenderness plays in your marriage.

Happy Advent! Can you believe we’re almost halfway through? I’ve been reading this amazing book called, “Behold: A Guided Advent Journal For Prayer and Meditation” by Sr. Mariam James Heidland, and it is full of so much wisdom. There was a line from today’s reflection that has stuck with m...

“You see your spouse and are able to talk to them most days. But how much of that time spent in relationships is quality time?”

Are you prioritizing date nights in your relationship? I’d love to hear from you! Tell me when your next one is scheduled ⬇️

Is anyone else jumping up and down that it’s finally the weekend?! What are you doing to take advantage of your time off work? Do you have a date night planned? Let me guess - there’s a big game you’re getting ready for, which means spending all day getting household tasks done. Sunday is a da...

I’m sure many people can relate to me when I say that balancing everything in life is hard.

Check out my newest blog post about why my perfect Mother’s Day wouldn’t actually be all that perfect 🙃🤔 ⬇️ And happy Mother’s Day weekend to all you mamas out there and all you women out there hoping to be mamas 🙏💐

“It’s usually these couples who say their marriage was better than it’s ever been. Why? Because they sacrificed.”

Mother’s Day is tomorrow in case anyone needs that reminder! I was joking with my husband that I finally knew what I wanted for Mother’s Day - a clean house, delicious meal, adoring children and husband, and to lose 10 pounds, all without me having to put forth any effort for any of it. Now befo...
