We specialize in working with adult clients facing significant life challenges which can lead to feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, depression, grief, loss of hope, fear of the future and/or a lost sense of purpose and direction.

These are our goals for MarriageRenew - the hope and reality of beginning again, restored, revived, replenished, youthful, strong and long-lasting - "as if new again."
MarriageRenew is not just another counseling, coaching, or therapy model for relationships.
Currently there are a number of effective and successful models available - each based on solid clinical research.
However, in our years of working with couples we have not found any one model that meets all the unique needs of couples or individuals.

Discernment counseling is a targeted approach for "mixed agenda" couples where one partner desires reconciliation and renewal of the relationship, while the other partner has expressed consideration of ending it.
Currently a focus of research at the University of Minnesota, Discernment Counseling acknowledges that couples who have different motivations, yet are faced with a crisis or decision point, may actually be hampered through methods of traditional marriage counseling.
In Discernment Counseling we help individuals and couples decide whether to try to restore their marriage to health, move towards divorce, or take a time out and decide later.

The duration of counseling depends on many factors, but solution-focused, cognitive, brief therapy is considered among the most rapid in terms of results obtained with an average of 12-16 sessions.
Other forms of therapy, like psychoanalysis, can take years.
What enables solution-focused, cognitive, brief therapy to achieve goals more quickly, is its highly instructive nature and the fact that it makes use of homework assignments between sessions.
Solution-focused, cognitive therapy is time-limited in that it helps clients understand at the very beginning of the process that there will be a point when the formal therapy will end.
