In Person Only · Dayton, Ohio
Christian Marriage and Couples Counseling
Time to address the conversations that turn into conflict and the distance that has grown between you.
What Couples Bring
The same argument. The growing distance.
Couples often come with several concerns connected to one another. An argument about money may also be about trust, responsibility, or feeling unheard.
- Communication breakdowns
- Recurring conflict
- Finances and shared decisions
- Parenting pressure
- Emotional distance
- Intimacy concerns
- Infidelity and broken trust
How Sessions Work
Both partners in the room.
Sessions include both partners and last 55 minutes. We meet weekly or every other week.
We examine the way a difficult conversation unfolds, what each partner hears, and how each responds. The work can include practicing clearer communication and addressing the concerns beneath repeated conflict.
I bring a biblical view of marriage alongside research-based counseling methods. As an Ohio licensed counselor, I use clinical care to address relationship patterns rather than asking faith to replace that work.
Faith and Relationship Work
Make room for an honest conversation.
A productive conversation needs room for both partners’ concerns. We work on speaking about conflict without overlooking the emotional disconnection or intimacy concerns that may sit beneath it.
Shared faith can inform how you understand marriage, responsibility, and forgiveness. It does not remove the need to listen or address harm.

Can we attend couples counseling by video?
Couples appointments are held in person in Dayton. Both partners attend together; Ohio telehealth is available for individual men’s counseling only.

Forgiveness is addressed as a process, not a demand. Work after betrayal includes accountability and care for both partners, without promising that every marriage will be restored.
