Most of the couples I work with are high-functioning, emotionally raw, and mentally exhausted. They’re caught in survival-mode loops—triggered by attachment cycles, unmet needs, and a broken map for navigating connection.

It’s not because you’re broken. It’s because no one taught you how to map your emotional patterns or respond to your partner without losing yourself.

Christian
I’ve been married for 31 years, raised three daughters, and worked with couples for more than two decades. I know firsthand that love isn’t about luck or compatibility—it’s about skill, repair, and the intentional daily choices you make together.
Average therapy helps you talk. My work helps you change the loops you can’t escape. At Couple Forward, I cut straight to the patterns under every fight, silence, and disconnection. I give you clear tools—the Compass, MAPSS, Roadmap and The Way Forward—so you can finally see the emotional blueprints driving your conflicts and learn how to repair them.
I don’t waste your time. I will challenge both sides. I give you a structured path forward so you can stop circling the same arguments and start building a relationship that feels safe, alive, and lasting.
This isn’t average therapy. This is skilled work for couples who want clarity, not clichés.
