Affairs are painful events that can tear apart a couple and an entire family. We work with you by holding the unfaithful partner accountable while loving their inner wounded child and helping them to transform into the functioning adult they were always meant to be. We take a close and gentle look at the dynamics in the marital relationship that were not working for each partner help you rebuild an entirely new marriage with a new level of connection, intimacy and trust.

Sexuality is an intricate part of your humanity. At The Marriage Point we celebrate all expressions of sexuality. We have experience working with individuals and couples in homosexual, heterosexual and mixed-orientation relationships. We help couples heal from sexual concerns such as orgasmic difficulties, painful intercourse, desire mismatch, low desire, erectile dysfunction, lack of passion, and many others. We are honored to be agents of healing for this vital area of your life.

Your marriage is the most signification relationship in your life. We make it our mission to improve marriages in every stage. We work with couples who have been married for many years, those who are just beginning their journey as a unit, and with couples anywhere in between. We also work with couples that are in committed relationships and help prepare them for healthy and happy marriages. We honor diversity and are affirming of the marital relationship in all people.

We teach relational skills to each of clients. We empower each individual to be authentic, vulnerable, and accountable. We direct and guide them toward a healthy relational dynamic and step in with clear interventions to help them get there expeditiously. We directly point out the truth of their existing dynamic and we support them with true care and empathy until they arrive at their destination.

We believe that most couples mean well when they first set out on the journey of marriage. Most couples are also unprepared to face the challenges that every marriage encounters. We help identify individual strengths and areas of growth so that each partner can walk into their wedding day fully aware of themselves and of what is required for them to become the best partner to their future spouse.

We utilize Relational Life Therapy as an approach to treating couples relationships. We believe that relationships should intimate, secure, and passionate. We work to empower each partner to be relational in every interaction. We help couples become connected, not enmeshed; clear and direct, not harsh; and intimate, not co-dependent. We believe we are most healthy as humans when we are in healthy relationships and can be authentic, vulnerable, and accountable.
