“My husband and I started seeing Dondi shortly before we got married. We had a lot to bring to the table and we needed some solid guidance and counsel. When we started we let Dondi know all that we were about to embark on, two recovering alcoholics, both divorced, 3 (almost teenagers) each, and a passion to love and serve God. We told Dondi we needed her to bring her A game, and did she ever!
We thought that by the time we were married in June of 2018 we'd be all set. As it turns out we got so much more out of our counseling than we ever thought we needed. Dondi helped us learn how to have our own voices, communicate clearly, uncover and mitigate fears and obstacles and how to grow closer together ever keeping God at the center of our marriage. Dondi is an amazing listener, teacher and counselor. She taught us how to love and live with imperfections and love each-other where we are.” - M. and J. M.

Family dynamics can often pose challenges. Miscommunication, misunderstandings, records of wrongs and resentment can build a wall of division between family members. By developing better communication, understanding our own personality traits and listening more intently, families can become closer and more connected. We will assist in building these skills and working toward healing and understanding.

Blended families also face additional challenges that many do not understand. At EnCourage Counseling, you will gain support and understanding while also receiving coaching on the best ways to “blend.” The journey can be incredibly difficult but there are ways families can improve relationships and develop their family’s version of normal.
