A Gottman-Trained Approach to Marriage Counseling
As a Level 3 Gottman-trained therapist, Arolyn uses the most researched framework in couples therapy — built on more than 40 years of studying what makes marriages actually last. Sessions blend structured assessment with practical, in-the-room skill-building so you leave each appointment with something you can use that week.
Whether you're facing communication breakdowns, recovering from an affair, feeling like roommates, or navigating a hard life transition, marriage counseling gives you a shared language for the pain — and a clear path forward.
For couples who want it, therapy can be explicitly Christian and faith-informed, integrating biblical principles and prayer alongside clinical work. Faith is always invited, never imposed.
