The Ultimate Guide to
Less Fighting & More Loving
Welcome to My Marriage Works Coaching: I’m Denise, a licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience who has dedicated the last 12 years exclusively to helping women and couples build happy, healthy, and thriving relationships. I founded My Marriage Works Coaching with one clear mission: to save marriages and keep families together.
My Journey & Expertise: After opening my own practice in 2007, I quickly discovered that working with couples required a different skill set than individual therapy. Determined to serve couples more effectively, I embarked on a decade-long journey to master evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. This intensive training, combined with hands-on experience from helping hundreds of couples, has allowed me to create a unique framework that accelerates healing and fosters lasting change.
My Approach: I blend warmth and compassion with a proactive, direct approach—essential for addressing the challenges that couples face today. Even when it feels like there’s no hope, I’ve seen countless couples transform their relationships, rediscover love, and rebuild trust. I’m here to help you do the same.
A Personal Touch: My 25-year marriage has been a journey of both challenges and triumphs, teaching me invaluable lessons in resilience and open communication. Through my own experiences navigating marital challenges, I’ve come to appreciate that honesty, understanding, and a willingness to grow together are the true building blocks of lasting relationships.
Outside of my professional work, I cherish my role as a loving partner, the proud mother of two amazing young men, and devoted cat mom to two fur babies.
I invite you to explore how we can work together to create the marriage you deserve. Your journey to a stronger, healthier relationship starts here
