- Setting budgets and managing money
- Establishing healthy boundaries with others
- Blended family challenges
- Infidelity
- Conflict resolution skills
- Family systems
- Extended family struggles
- Religious beliefs
- Dealing with different parenting styles

Communication
Couples counseling can help with poor communication. People often come to marriage and couples counseling because they are struggling to connect and communicate. Years of painful miscommunication can erode the foundation of a marriage, but it does not mean that hope is lost. It is possible to find healing and to bring the relationship back to health. Often, couples find that their relationships are stronger after counseling.
Signs of poor communication:
- Resentment
- Inability to move on
- Feeling unheard
- Feeling distant
- Reduced intimacy
- Yelling & screaming
- Blaming
- Shame
- Infidelity
- Unresolved anger that keeps coming up
- Unable to talk without fighting
Premarital counseling
It's never too early to begin couples therapy. We offer premarital counseling for engaged couples who are looking to sharpen their communication skills. Premarital counseling allows you to navigate tough issues before they come up. The skills you learn in counseling will benefit you for years down the road. Additionally, premarital counseling can help couples establish a positive attitude about seeking help should things get difficult in the future.
Infidelity
You didn't begin this relationship thinking you or your partner would cheat.
The pain, anger, and shame of infidelity can devastate a relationship, but it doesn't have to. We work to help you find healing and hope after infidelity. Whatever your relationship goals, we are here to provide support, wisdom, and guidance through these tough times.
There is Hope!
