Marriage and Relationship Coaching

It doesn't matter if you're dating, engaged, or married.  I help couples identify their relationship strengths, and gain an understanding of the underlying dynamics that influence their areas of contention. Through relationship coaching, couples can develop skills to play on their strengths to improve their areas of work.  

I am a certified Prepare Encrich Facilator and I hold a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy.   Research has shown that taking the P/E assessment prior to marriage reduces your risk for divorce by 30%, couples who are already married can also benefit from taking a marriage assessment to reconnect and gain knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses. 

• You begin by taking the PREPARE/ENRICH online assessment to identify your current strengths and growth areas as a couple. You then meet with a me to receive feedback that helps you understand your results as well as teach you important relationship skills. From beginning to end, the program is designed to be comfortable, relaxed, and even fun.  

• Premarital preparation is ideal with 4-6 feedback sessions If you are short on time you can always finish sessions after the wedding.  
• Couples seeking a martial checkup will receive a time frame based on the assessment results. 

•  P/E covers various areas within the relationship including communication, conflict resolution, finances, and spiritual beliefs.  In addition, the assessment will explore your personality, family of origin, and relationship dynamics.  Over 30 customized categories, such as previous marriage and expecting a child, ensure your experience with your results will feel accurate and relevant to your relationship. 

•  No, I promise it is not a test.  It's an assessment of your relationship across several categories.  Review what the assessment is, and is not, so you have a deeper understanding of what it will do for your relationship.

How many times have you wished for the manual on parenting and family relationships?  Well, look no further.  Family dynamics can be difficult to navigate as we deal with difficult people, multiple personalities, and the many roles that we play.  Throw in failed relationships, future relationships, and simple additions like teenage children and it's enough to drive you crazy.  No need to worry, I have done it all i.e., blended families, co-parenting, single parenting, etc. Let me coach you through the difficult stuff, no need for trial and error. Families can be successful when they're equipped with the right tools. 

People do not enter into relationships with thoughts of later being in a blended family.  Most anticipate creating a traditional family unit. However, for whatever reason, it doesn't always work out that way. Blended families can be amazing or they can be a point of contention. Let me help you blend your family in such a way that it brings peace and togetherness.   

We all want to be great parents but truth is sometimes our children just want to hear it from someone other than their parents.  This coaching service is a win win for everyone.  Parents get to see their children learn the life skills that they need to be successful and productive members of society and the young men and women get to develop those skills while maintaining and establishing their independence.   

Forgiveness is such a broad topic that spans across vast relational dynamics. However, as we process each painful experience we are left with the choice to forgive or not to forgive.  If you are struggling in this area  I would love to coach you through choosing to forgive, even if you never get what you need from the other person.
