For parents of young children
Your marriage doesn't have to wait until they're older.
I offer specialized 90-minute couples therapy for parents who are deep in the trenches of raising little ones — exhausted, stretched thin, and quietly worried about what's happening to their relationship in the meantime.
Sound familiar?
- You talk logistics all day and never actually talk
- The same argument keeps circling back in different clothes
- One of you is touched out, the other feels shut out
- Date night keeps getting cancelled — and it's been months
- You're good parents who miss being a couple
- You love each other and want to protect this before it erodes
Why ninety minutes, not fifty
Worth the childcare
When getting out of the house is its own project, a 50-minute session ends right as the real conversation starts. Ninety minutes makes the trip count.
Patterns, not incidents
We look under the argument about the dishwasher at the cycle driving it — the protests, the withdrawals, and what each of you is trying to protect.
Repair that holds
There is time to move through a hard moment together and finish somewhere different than where you started.
What we'll focus on
Small rhythms that survive a toddler
Not elaborate date nights you'll cancel. Realistic, repeatable moments of connection that fit inside nap schedules and 6 p.m. meltdowns.
The invisible load
Naming the mental and emotional labor neither of you can see, so it stops turning into resentment at the end of the day.
Being a person again
Rest, friendship, and identity outside of parenting — because two depleted people cannot pour into each other.
Repair in front of your kids
Your children learn what love looks like by watching you rupture and come back together. That's teaching, not failing.
A faith-shaped option, when you want it
For couples who desire it, Christian faith can be thoughtfully woven into our work. For those who don't, the care is exactly as attentive.
