No marriage is a lost cause when two people take the first step towards improving their relationship.
We are proud to work with brave individuals who are willing to be guided through the hardships that they are facing together.

We have dedicated our professional lives to working with couples to understand and overcome the difficulties in their marriage. We are positive and solution-based counselors because we believe in addressing problems head-on with the goal of building strong relationships based on love, respect and trust.
We have worked with countless couples that have experienced a full spectrum of marriage issues; some have had a minor bump in the road while others have strongly considered divorce and may have already retained a divorce lawyer.

While every marriage is unique, we have prepared a list of 12 comments that we hear repeatedly from couples that need a real change in their marriage.

Your marriage is valuable and
worth saving.
It is important that you do not merely exist in your relationship. You must also grow closer with your partner and tackle life’s challenges together in a safe and supportive environment.

When your spouse feels like they are misunderstood or unappreciated your relationship will no longer feel safe to them. You will both become guarded – focusing on protecting yourself to the detriment of the relationship. When we retreat to our own corners we react in a way that seems best in the moment but in reality is destructive to our own need for validation and the overall health of our relationship.
