At Gateway we specialize in couple counseling and can help you as a couple.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

As a husband, and father of 7 children, I know firsthand not only the blessings, but also the challenges that come with family life. I enjoy working with couples, helping them improve communication, rebuild trust, and restore intimacy. I use an honest and supportive approach in session, and can provide Christian counseling for those that desire it.

Do you have the same argument over and over again? Are you feeling alone, misunderstood, or disrespected in your marriage? I can help you work through these issues through couples counseling, and help you break the unhealthy patterns that aren’t working. Renewing trust, improving communication, and regaining the spark are all possible. Being married myself, I know that marriage is work, and that love is a choice. But even intelligent, loving couples sometimes need support. You deserve better than what’s happening now. If you’re willing to put in the work, I can help. Our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion you were created to be.

We are passionate about and skilled with helping couples to repair and strengthen their relationship by utilizing techniques from evidence-based practices such as Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method. These techniques help get to the heart of the matter to increase relationship satisfaction and heal emotional injuries that may have occurred throughout the relationship or as a result of previous trauma. Individual therapy for each partner is also recommended as best practice for helping each person to work through their personal traumas.

Navigating relationship challenges can be difficult. That's why I’m here to help you and your partner reconnect and strengthen your bond. In our sessions, we’ll work together to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen your understanding of each other. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard and valued. Using evidence-based techniques, I guide you in developing healthier patterns and rebuilding trust, so your relationship can thrive and grow stronger.

When working with couples my approach is to listen without taking sides. Communication is typically the key to the misunderstandings, and learning to use “I statements” and communicating to be heard is taught in the sessions. I help each individual learn to see things from the other person's perspective by using role play in the sessions. Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are often used with couples. Clients are given specific assignments to work on that helps them learn their own strengths and challenges as well as that of their partner. This helps them to appreciate what the other person brings to the relationship.

Couples work is unique and interesting. What a lot of people don't understand it that of course you have different viewpoints - you are in different bodies, have different life experiences and are actually looking at different views! Many times the problem is simply communication: no matter how many times you tell your partner what you need, they just don't hear it. That is where I come in- helping people to get heard and also to hear clearly! In this way there can be a softening and a coming together, with both partners feeling loved and understood. You don't have to continue fighting, and counseling doesn't mean you failed. It is a gift you give your relationship to help nurture it.
