Create a marriage that you enjoy.

Christian marriage counseling in Colorado Springs, CO

Do you feel like your marriage is broken?

You keep trying to fix the issues, but nothing seems to work.

Maybe you’ve been arguing often or perhaps there’s been a breach of trust.

It’s not uncommon to feel like you're just going through the motions, feeling unseen, unheard, unwanted, dismissed, or invalidated, struggling to keep things civil—or worse, barely speaking at all. You might be feeling exhausted, unsure if things can ever improve, or even questioning if this is what marriage is supposed to be like.

If you're afraid this is your new normal, know that you're not alone—and there is hope for healing and renewal.

You may be noticing:

  • A lack of motivation at work and in your social life.

  • Feeling impatient or distant with your children.

  • Difficulty staying focused on everyday tasks.

Learn how to care for one another God’s way.

Grow closer in your relationship by reconnecting and understanding one another.

Create an enjoyable marriage that you want to come home to.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Marriage counseling can help you rebuild your emotional bond and reconnect.

With intentional effort and a commitment to seeing and hearing each other again, couples can rekindle that deep connection. When both partners lean into vulnerability, share their deepest needs, and actively choose empathy over frustration, they can rediscover the beauty of being fully known by each other—and find themselves feeling wanted in the truest sense of the word. It might take time, patience, and a whole lot of grace, but it's a process worth every step. After all, when was the last time you truly saw the person you vowed to spend your life with? (Don’t worry, it’s not a trick question—just a little reminder to look deeper.

We will begin with an initial intake session, during which we’ll review intake forms, discuss your relationship history, explore your upbringing, and identify the reasons you're seeking therapy at this time. If time permits, I will also assess your communication styles and introduce key communication strategies. If not, we’ll cover these in our next session.

Between sessions, I’ll ask couples to complete a couple of brief assessments. One assesses your Reactive Cycle, and the other assesses your attachment style. These assessments provide valuable insights into areas for growth and help deepen your understanding of what’s happening within your relationship.

I pull a lot from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and implement the Focus Marital Therapy (FMT) with my couples. The FMM is the model that is used in the Focus on the Family’s Hope Restored Intensives. I prefer these models for couples, particularly because they focus on the emotion of situations, not the content, which helps lead away from blaming of either spouse.

Emotionally Focus Therapy proposes that emotions are the music to which we dance in our relationships, if we change the music we change the dance. Often, couples are square-dancing, when they need to be doing the Waltz. But they can’t, because the music isn’t right.

Let me help you change the music.

FAQs

  • While this is a legal term in a few states, it is not what I am referencing when I speak of a Covenant Marriage.

    When I use this term, I am referring to the addition of God in the relationship and the oath that two people make before Him when they enter into marriage. It is a sacred union between husband and wife governed by God.

    You can read an in-depth description of what a covenant is here.

  • Therapy is not a quick fix. It is a journey of healing, of yourself and your relationship. Length of marriage therapy depends on many factors, but for couples willing to lean in and put in the work for intentional change, I often begin to see a shift within just a few sessions.

  • The first session is a full 60 minutes that is spent doing an intake that consists of family of origin history and relationship history, understanding what culminated to bring you into counseling at this time, and reviewing intake paperwork and assessments.

    Generally, I will see each member of a couple for about 30minutes - 50 minutes each in an Individual session the following week. This allows you the opportunity to be very open and honest.

    Moving forward, I provide a lot of relationship education and work with you to establish healthy communication as a foundation so that you are able to move into the deeper issues and speak about them effectively. I will ask you to take a couple of free assessments that help me understand your attachment style and your Reactive Cycle.

    I tailor sessions to each client, but generally follow the progression of the Focus Marriage Model as established by its developers.

  • If you haven’t done so already, discuss reaching out to me with your spouse and get them on board. Ideally, picking a therapist should be a joint decision.

    Filling out my contact form is the best way to inquire. Please keep an eye on your email (don’t forget to check the junk/ spam folder) for a response from me.

  • I strive to answer all inquiries within one business day, holidays will result in longer response times. Email is my preferred method of communication for inquires. Sometimes my replies to website inquires go to junk/ spam folders, so please check those for a reply from me if you haven’t heard from me.
