FAQs
“Shouldn’t we be able to handle this on our own?”
Many couples hesitate to start couples counseling or marriage counseling because they feel like they should be able to fix things themselves.
But when patterns of conflict, distance, or hurt keep repeating, it’s often because you’re stuck in a cycle—not because you’re failing.
I help couples step out of those cycles using research-based strategies that create real connection, even during conflict.
You don’t have to keep figuring this out alone.
→ Schedule a consultation and start getting unstuck.
“What if we keep having the same argument over and over?”
This is one of the most common reasons couples reach out for couples counseling.
If you’re having the same fight on repeat, the issue usually isn’t the topic—it’s the pattern underneath it.
In therapy, we identify that cycle and help you change it so conversations lead to understanding instead of frustration.
If you’re tired of going in circles, there’s a way forward.
→ Book your first session and start changing the pattern.

Yes—when you have the right approach.

You’ll leave sessions with tools you can actually use—not just insights.

“Can our relationship recover after an affair or betrayal?”
Yes—many couples successfully move through affair counseling and affair recovery and rebuild stronger, more honest relationships.
Affairs impact trust, safety, and connection. In affair counseling, we work step by step to process what happened, rebuild trust, and create a more secure foundation.
You don’t have to decide everything right now—you just need a place to start.
If you’re dealing with betrayal, support can make the difference.
→ Schedule an appointment to begin affair recovery.
“What if our sex drives or desire levels don’t match?”
Differences in desire are one of the most common concerns in couples counseling and marriage counseling—and they’re rarely just about sex.
These issues are often connected to emotional closeness, stress, or communication patterns. Therapy helps you understand what’s happening and build a sexual connection that feels mutual and pressure-free.
You don’t have to keep feeling rejected, pressured, or disconnected.
→ Book a session and start rebuilding intimacy.
“How does couples counseling work? How can I get the most out of it?”
We start by helping each person take ownership of their part—learning to self-soothe, communicate clearly, and express needs effectively.
From there, we build stronger communication and emotional connection so you can have more open, honest conversations. The rest of the work is guided by your goals—whether that’s conflict, intimacy, or affair recovery.
The more you invest in the process, the more you get out of it—and I’ll guide you every step of the way.
→ Schedule your first session and take the first step.
“How long does marriage counseling take?”
It depends on your goals, but most couples begin seeing meaningful progress within weeks to months, not years.
We start with a clear understanding of your relationship and build practical skills early so you can begin improving things right away.
Change doesn’t have to take forever—but it does require starting.
→ Reach out now to begin.
“Do you take insurance for couples counseling?”
Yes—with some limitations.
Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis and medical necessity, which may limit coverage—especially for couples counseling, marriage counseling, sex therapy, or affair recovery.
Many clients choose to pay out of pocket for greater flexibility and privacy.
If you have questions about cost, I’m happy to talk through your options.
→ Contact me to discuss fees and scheduling.
