Reliable Relationship Counseling When You Need It The Most

Everyday we help couples rebuild their connection, learn to understand each other more, and experience happiness in their relationship.

Are you struggling in your relationship, and don’t know how to get on the right path? Are you longing for a clear, reliable, and systematic way to resolve your relationship issues?

 

Your plans for your relationship were far from what they currently are. You feel sad, scared, and confused as to how you got to this place, and how to change it. You’ve tried talking to friends and implementing any new approach you could think of, yet here you are with the same struggles in your hands. 

​

You know things could be better, and you have hope of a new way forward. 

 

Your knight in shining armor doesn’t have to come “one day”, it can come today. 

 

The path that will rescue you from your relationship distress is one that has been researched for over 45+ years on thousands of other couples. You don’t have to take a gamble on your relationship future. 

 

My name is JD Reisinger and I am a level 3 Gottman Trained Couples Counselor with advanced training in addiction, affair, and trauma for couples. I help couples align themselves with the framework and tools that help people go from relationship disasters to relationship masters.  

 

Want to see how the Gottman Method and working with JD can help you?

 

You’re taking a courageous, and important, step right now by seeking expert help to overcome your issue.  We would like to honor that with a complimentary consultation.

 

During your 15 minute visit, we will confidentially discuss your important reasons for wanting to overcome your issue now.  We will also answer your specific questions about how working with me can help you:

 

  • Express yourself, to meet your needs
