About
Many Christian couples find themselves in a place they never imagined. The friendship has faded, communication feels impossible, trust has been damaged, and despite praying and trying harder, the same painful patterns continue. If that's where you are, I want you to know there is real hope.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Gottman-trained marriage counselor, I help couples rebuild connection using the research-based Gottman Method in a way that is fully compatible with Christian faith. You don't have to choose between evidence-based counseling and biblical values. My goal is to help you experience both emotional healing and spiritual growth as you strengthen your relationship.
Together, we'll identify the patterns that keep you stuck and replace them with practical skills that improve communication, rebuild trust, resolve conflict, and deepen friendship and intimacy. Using the Gottman Relationship Checkup, the Sound Relationship House framework, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and trauma-informed care, we'll create a personalized roadmap toward lasting change.
One truth I often share is that emotions are wonderful companions, but poor leaders. Emotions give us valuable information, but they were never meant to determine our choices. I'll help you understand what your emotions are telling you while learning to respond with wisdom, grace, and intention.
Whether you're struggling with chronic conflict, betrayal, emotional distance, anxiety, or simply feeling disconnected, you don't have to face it alone. My desire is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where you'll feel understood, challenged, and equipped with practical tools to build the healthy, Christ-centered marriage God desires for you..
