Couples Counseling Across Iowa

Relationship Decision Support

I provide relationship counseling for adults across Iowa through secure telehealth.

If you’re here, your relationship may feel strained, uncertain, or stuck—and you may not be sure what to do next.

This work offers a structured, supportive space to better understand what’s happening in your relationship, slow things down, and make thoughtful decisions about how to move forward.

Relationship Decision Support

This is a short-term, structured process (typically 1–5 sessions) designed for individuals or couples who are unsure about the future of their relationship.

Together, we focus on:

  • Understanding how you got to this point

  • Identifying patterns and underlying concerns

  • Clarifying what each person wants moving forward

  • Reducing reactive or pressure-driven decisions

There is no pressure to stay together or separate, the goal is to help you make a decision you feel grounded in.

This may be a good fit if:

  • You feel stuck or unsure whether to stay in or leave your relationship

  • Conversations go in circles or feel unproductive

  • One partner is more invested than the other

  • You feel emotionally disconnected or overwhelmed

  • You’re considering couples counseling but aren’t sure it’s the right next step

Who This Work Can Help

How This Is Different from Couples Counseling

Traditional couples therapy focuses on improving the relationship over time.

This approach is different.

It is designed for situations where:

  • The future of the relationship feels uncertain

  • One or both partners are unsure about continuing

  • You are not ready for long-term couples therapy

The focus is on clarity and intentional decision-making, not ongoing relationship work.

What to Expect

Sessions are structured but supportive, with space for both shared conversation and individual reflection within the process.

We move at a steady pace, with ongoing check-ins about where each person stands and what feels most aligned moving forward.

The goal is not to solve everything—but to help you move forward with clarity.
