Hi, I’m Laura.

I’m a wife, mom of four, and marriage coach. I’m also the creator of the Authentic Marriage Method™.

I know what it's like to try to create a loving marriage while raising a family, managing a home, working, and having approximately 57 things demanding your attention at any given moment.

I've also experienced how easy it is to lose yourself along the way, and to lose some of that spark in your marriage, too.

That's why I believe marriage coaching has to work in real life, not just when you have unlimited time, energy, and patience. A connected marriage shouldn't feel like one more thing you have to work hard at.

I believe you can have a deeply connected marriage without losing yourself trying to create it.

You cannot control another person's thoughts, feelings, choices, or behavior. You can become deeply grounded in your own.

For me, that means understanding the patterns that are yours to change, becoming more honest with yourself about what you feel and want, and learning to show up in your marriage without abandoning yourself in the process.

Through my own marriage and my work with wives, I've seen what can happen when women stop over-functioning, trying to fix everything, or carrying the relationship on their shoulders.

There is so much more freedom, self-trust, and genuine connection on the other side. That's the work I love to do.

My approach

My coaching is grounded in the Authentic Marriage Method™, my framework for helping women understand the patterns that create distance and develop the safety, self-knowledge, and authenticity that make genuine connection possible.

My work is also informed by years of coaching experience, my certification in the Six Intimacy Skills® through extensive training with internationally recognized marriage expert and bestselling author Laura Doyle, and the broader body of research on relationships and marriage, including the work of the Gottman Institute.

I draw on the Six Intimacy Skills and other relationship tools when they are useful, always considering what will best support the woman in front of me and her vision.

Why this work matters to me

I've been married since 2013 and have been intentionally living these principles since 2014. I feel incredibly grateful and proud that our four kids get to be raised in stable home filled with laughter and love.

Over the years, I've come to believe that creating a better world really can begin at home. Through the way we learn to take responsibility for what is ours, communicate vulnerably, and create relationships where we can be fully ourselves and love deeply.

A beautiful marriage is one where you can grow without losing yourself, love without disappearing, and feel genuinely known by the man you're sharing your life with.

That's the kind of marriage I help women create.
