Molly and James Christensen
Our Story
Molly and I moved five times before our fifth anniversary, following the demands of my military career.
Every move put more pressure on our marriage. We had hoped to provide a peaceful home for our little family, but we found ourselves drowning in anger and resentment instead.
After years of fighting, we finally went to couples therapy. We worked with five different therapists, but nothing changed in our marriage.
Our sixth therapist was different. She was trained in Dr. David Schnarch’s “Crucible Therapy”, and she was a lot more direct than the other therapists we had worked with.
This new therapy was a breath of fresh air. We started to deal with relationship problems that had bothered us for decades, and our marriage finally started to improve.
I became a couples therapist because I wanted to help other couples the way our therapist helped us. Molly is working towards her own therapy license and plans to join me at Roseville Couples Counseling

Sexual problems are normal in long-term romantic relationships. If you have been together with your partner for more than a few years, there is a very high probability that you have already encountered sexual problems.
I have extensive postgraduate training focused on helping couples improve sexuality and work through differences in sexual desire.
-
The person you trusted most, the one you shared your life with, has betrayed you in the most intimate way. You feel foolish for not seeing the signs earlier. You’re questioning every moment of your relationship, wondering if any of it was real. You want to move forward, but you don’t even know where to start.
Emotional affairs can be just as damaging as physical affairs because they create a breach of trust and cause both partners t reconsider their commitment to the relationship.
