Success StoriesWhat my clients have to say about working with me
Authentic Marriages is a fantastic way to invest in your marriage. Kaara and Jared are a wonderful couple who okay off of each other so well. They’re honest and funny and normalize couples counseling and therapy. They make it fun! I left feeling enthusiastic and reenergized about being married. My main takeaway is to invest in your marriage.

Expressing how I feel to my wife is something that I didn't really know how to do.. I tend to keep those thoughts caged up.. I realize now how that has affected how we communicate with each other.. I've also realized that I don't always have to have the answers.. Sometimes listening is enough.. This removes lots of unnecessary pressure and allows me to be more present during our conversations.
— B. Davis
In all the marriage counseling I have been to in over the last 14 years, everything in these sessions were a first for me. My mind was completely blown! Why isn’t every counselor teaching this?! I left with real and practical tools that I can use that help me grow as an individual and my marriage. This is literally the hope that I have been looking for for years!!!
