Marriage Counseling & Coaching
A marriage (and life) that feels
fully alive.
Small changes. Deep courage. Online + In Person · DFW & Worldwide
Marriage isn’t supposed to be fine. It’s meant to be vibrant, honest, erotic, and spiritually grounded. Since 2002, I’ve been walking with couples who want more than just getting along. They want to grow up, wake up, and live fully alive in the space between them.
“Nobody’s ready for marriage — marriage makes you ready for marriage.”
— David Schnarch, Passionate Marriage
Is this you?
You’re not broken.
But something isn’t working.
The couples and individuals I work with aren’t people who’ve given up. They’re people who are hungry for more integrity, more courage, and more connection — not just more techniques.
If you’re tired of living on autopilot and ready to do the deeper work, you’re in the right place.
The approach
Not tips. Not formulas.
Real work. Real change.
This isn’t gentle support — it’s committed, intensive work that asks something of you. My approach draws from the Crucible method and differentiation-based models of marriage. The goal isn’t to fix your relationship — it’s to help you grow up inside of it. That takes honesty, discomfort, and the willingness to go first.
A stronger self makes a better marriage
Most marriage problems aren’t communication problems — they’re identity problems. This work challenges you to hold onto yourself under pressure, instead of managing your spouse or waiting for them to change first.
Your fullest sexual and relational potential
Beyond treating dysfunction, the goal is to help you achieve your fullest sexual and relational potential — and in the process, become more independent, emotionally free, and more fully yourself.
Scripture without pat answers
I take faith seriously — but I don’t offer “pray it away” advice. We explore how your beliefs can anchor real change: deeper honesty, better boundaries, more wholehearted love. Faith as a call to grow, not an excuse to stay stuck.
Marriage Intensives
More than an hour.
More than weekly.
Most couples are used to the standard model: one hour a week. But for many people, that pace stalls. Sessions turn into weekly catch-up. Real momentum gets lost.
Intensive therapy is different by design. Longer, closely spaced sessions create the time and continuity needed to work through issues in real time — with less room to dodge what matters.
Turning points tend to happen faster when you have enough time and support to stay with the hard parts instead of postponing them.

Spiritually grounded.
Not formulaic.
Many of the couples I work with are Christians who love God and each other — and are still struggling. That’s not a contradiction. It’s actually the norm.
“We’ll explore how your faith can anchor real change: deeper honesty, better boundaries, and a more wholehearted way of loving.”
I take Scripture and spiritual growth seriously. But I don’t offer pat religious answers. The goal is a marriage that reflects who you’re actually becoming — not who you think you’re supposed to be.

The 100-year mission.
I’m working to impact one marriage at a time — because that marriage could produce kids who get married, who have kids who get married, and on it goes. That one marriage could create a legacy felt 100 years from now. That one marriage is yours.
