The best gift parents can give their children is to maintain a healthy marriage. Although it is normal for relationships to have "ups & downs," occasionally a couple will not be able to resolve issues on their own. I frequently find each partner is well intentioned but keeps "missing" each other.

I help couples learn to communicate more effectively, resolve conflict, affirm each other, and recognize each other's needs. I also help couples heal from the deeper wounds of betrayal from affairs or revitalize their marriage after years of neglect.

If you and your partner have been experiencing relational problems for more than a few weeks or have been unable to resolve issues, you are probably a candidate for couples / marriage counseling.
