Marriage can be both deeply fulfilling and incredibly challenging. With over 40 years of working with couples, I help partners communicate better, resolve conflict, and reconnect emotionally and spiritually.  

I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you make your own positive life decisions. Through sharing ideas in a caring, respectful relationship, you are actively involved in decision-making throughout the therapy process. My role is to provide a supportive and trusting environment.  

Every relationship has a story. And most couples who find their way to therapy aren't there because their story is over — they're there because they want to write a better chapter than the one they've been stuck in. Maybe you've been having the same argument for years, just with different words. Maybe the distance between you has grown so gradually that you can barely remember when it stopped feeling easy. Maybe trust has been broken and you're not sure whether it can be rebuilt. Maybe everything looks fine from the outside and you can't explain why it feels so hollow on the inside. Whatever brought you here, the fact that you're here together — or that one of you is reaching out — means something. At Love Let Out, we work with couples at every stage — newly committed and trying to build something solid, long-partnered and trying to find their way back to each other, and everything in between. We use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused approaches to help couples move past the surface conflict and into the real conversation underneath — the one about feeling seen, feeling safe, and feeling like you actually matter to each other. We are also experienced working with non-traditional relationship structures. Couples in polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, or kink-involved relationships will find a therapist who understands the unique dynamics, agreements, and challenges that come with loving outside convention — without judgment, and without having to explain themselves first. We don't take sides. We don't decide whether your relationship is worth saving — that's yours to determine. We help you get honest, get curious about each other again, and find out what's actually possible when you stop fighting and start talking. Love brought you together. Let's figure out what it takes to keep it.  

I help individuals navigate infidelity, betrayal, attachment wounds, and the relational patterns that keep showing up across relationships. Whether you're processing a recent betrayal, untangling a trauma bond, or noticing old wounds resurface with a new partner, we work to understand the pattern underneath, not just the latest incident. Drawing on attachment-focused work and principles from Gottman and EFT, I help you build clearer boundaries and steadier trust in yourself and others.  

With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I help my clients navigate the intricacies of their emotions, guiding them towards self-discovery, personal growth, and improved relationship dynamics. By equipping you with practical tools and empowering insights, I aim to restore harmony, strengthen bonds, and nurture a thriving, fulfilling love life.  

Is Marriage Counseling Right For Us? Marriage counseling is not always a 911 situation. On average, most couples let a problem fester for six years before seeking therapy. Wise couples seek help before things get out of hand. At Lifeologie, we can help you navigate all aspects of romantic relationships – pre-engagement, pre-marital, married, remarried, and trying to STAY married – to help turn things around. We handle all stages of a relationship for both straight and same-gender couples: dating – how to notice the deal-breakers and what makes someone a keeper early relationship – considering moving further committed relationship – cohabitation and commitment life cycle transitions – kids coming, kids going, career changes – this all happens in the middle! blended families – remarriage and co-parenting parenting as a team late stage marital – empty nest issues, aging parents last-ditch marital – when you feel like you’ve tried everything and are just about out of gas. Topics that Marriage Counseling & Therapy can be used to address: Premarital Counseling: So, you two haven’t tied the knot yet… but there are still some kinks to work out? Premarital counseling can help you articulate your expectations for the marriage, enhance your level of intimacy, and iron out unresolved past conflicts. The Honeymoon period: When a relationship first begins, people tend to put their best foot forward. As we get more comfortable, we let the facade slip little by little. And we take off the rose-colored glasses. The moment the honeymoon ends is often also the moment couples get real. Marriage counseling can help you conquer the honesty hurdle and ease you into the next phase of your relationship. Communication & Listening: Most couples cite communication as the primary reason they seek therapy. Typically poor communication is an indicator of fragile connection. Fortunately, marriage counseling can avert unnecessary disagreements and help couples improve listening and conflict skills, leading to lasting connection. Financial Squabbles: Most married couples have shared assets and expenses: shared bank accounts, shared debt, shared obligations. Financial disagreements in marriages tend to represent power struggles in the relationship. Counseling for financial issues can help you reach a consensus about budgets and help you navigate the tricky situations that become more common as couples build a life and create a family together. Sex: Differing expectations about sex can easily become a touchy subject in most marriages. Marriage counseling can encourage couples to carve out much needed time for intimacy or empower each partner to communicate sexual desires (or lack of) in a judgment-free space. Kids: Marriage counseling can assist the two of you in getting onto the same page about discipline and ensuring an appropriate and healthy structure in the family. The marital dyad comes FIRST – a counterintuitive concept in our child-centered society. A strong marriage is the best thing couples can offer their kids. They are learning how to be married by watching you. Resentment: The longer that a relationship lasts, the more likely that resentments can take root. Resentment is the accumulation of small and seemingly trivial aggravations, culminating in lasting bitterness, loneliness and anger. Resentments can also be rooted deeply in the relationship, planted by infidelity or some other betrayal. Resentment is like taking poison and hoping the other person dies. Everyone loses. Effective marriage counseling can heal resentments and help you move forward together. Last-Ditch Marital: When you don’t know whether to call it quits or keep trudging along, crawling to the finish line. In our experience, most couples at this stage have had lots and lots of bad therapy. Be encouraged by the simple fact that you’re still trying. Good last-ditch marital therapy will focus on fresh points of view and help you tackle solvable problems together. How Can Marriage Therapy & Counseling Improve My Marriage?
