36 years married, and still learning together.
I've been married to my high school sweetheart since November 17, 1984 — almost 42 years of dating and 36 adventurous, fulfilling years of marriage. Together we have three wonderful children, seven treasured grandchildren, and two beloved fur babies who keep our home joyfully chaotic.
That's not just my story — it's part of why I do this work. I've lived through the real seasons of a long marriage, and I bring that lived experience into the room alongside my clinical training.
The Four Pillars of Love™
I've designed four pillars that I believe are crucial to a strong marriage — without fulfillment of all of them, a marriage will struggle to thrive. These are often the main reason couples disconnect, no matter how long they've been together.
Spiritual Intimacy
Sharing faith, values, and a sense of shared purpose as a couple.
Emotional Intimacy
Feeling truly known, heard, and safe with your partner.
Physical Intimacy
Connection and affection that keeps a marriage close, not just cordial.
Financial Intimacy
Shared honesty and teamwork around money and long-term goals.
Why choose me to be your therapist?
Real, lived experience
36 years of marriage and raising a family means I understand the seasons couples go through — not just in theory, but in practice.
A proven framework
The Four Pillars of Love gives couples a clear, structured way to see where the relationship is strong and where it needs attention.
No judgment, ever
Whether you bring faith into the room or not, you'll be met with warmth, empathy, and genuine support — never a script.
