I provide marriage counseling for Seattle and Eastside couples.

Don’t believe all the alarm bells about marriage being in crisis.

It’s not in crisis—it’s at a crossroads. It’s being redefined from an economic institution to an emotional bond. Affluence, personal freedom, and equality between the sexes mean that today marriage is based on choice. We don’t have to settle for a paper marriage anymore. And yet, we are rejecting disposable relationships and recommitting to making marriage work. That’s why the divorce rate has dropped by 1/3 since 1981.

The real news of our day is how much we believe in marriage for its own sake.

We want a fulfilling partnership that will be the bedrock of our lives. The stresses we see in marriage are growing pains. And a call to raise our relationship skills so we’re up to the task.

We’re demanding more of our marriages, and that means marriage demands more of us.

I’ve been a marriage counselor in the Seattle area for 12 years and I’m an expert in building that solid bond.
