Marriage counseling that Heals in Addison, IL. Restore Your Relationship.

I provide marital, premarital and relationship counseling. I believe most relationship issues stem from partners feeling misunderstood by their loved one. This can often lead to symptomatic problems that bring couples to counseling. I help couples to bridge that gap

The idea that marriage takes a lot of work can be an understatement. Two individual people learn to grow together, adapt, and adjust to life's obstacles. In marriage and family counseling, we sit as an objective facilitator and challenger in strengthening your marriage.

Working to achieve what is possible for your relationship. I work with couples utilizing the treatment methods of John Gottman, focusing on what can enhance effective and supportive exchange. My effort is to help you achieve the balanced exchange you desire.

I have experience working with couples struggling in their marriage who desire to work through stuck places to rebuild a connected intimate marriage. I also work with premarital couples and utilize assessment tools for both using the PREPARE/ENRICH.

I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are. I provide my clients with a warm, non-judgmental environment- a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from experiencing the relationship you deserve.

Deciding to see a marriage/couples counselor can be a very difficult decision. I try to make the process and easy as I can. My goal is to provide both of you real world tools to help with your relationship.

I've been working with couples for about 40 years, am married 47 years. We worked professionally together and raised our family. I really enjoy working with couples of all ages, helping them learn to cope with marital expectations while finding their joy together

We work with a variety of issues-Depression, Anger, Anxiety (group and individual formats), Bipolar disorder, Trauma, Child and Adolescent work (males and females), Sexual Abuse, Play Therapy, Family therapy, Cultural issues (adapting to the western culture), and LGBTQ.

I teach couples how to communicate as a team. I have discovered that what became a big problem with couples is that they got in a rut, existing on auto-pilot. Whether one or both of you begins therapy, your relationship will improve in studying how it's been going.

I am a counselor in private practice. I have over sixteen years counseling couples facing life's oingoing challenges in relationshps. I also practice pre-marital counseling for those trying to work out issues before deciding to enter into a marriage.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

Relationships can be a great source of pleasure and at times a great source of stress. We help individuals address the issues causing relational distress, teach relationship skills, and coach clients on how to use the skills to cultivate dynamic relationships.

We will work as a team to help you to find the spark that drew you together. We will work to uncover the patterns of behavior and communication that have dampened that spark. We will discover ways to rebuild and reawaken the hopes and dreams of spending a life together.
