Hello!
I'm Victoria.
My passion for helping couples have more in their marriage was born out of generations of divorce in my family. I was determined to be the one that ended this cycle. But I wasn’t. My first marriage ended in divorce, too. After getting married again, I (and Todd) spent countless hours researching and learning how to have a healthy, fulfilling marriage. Almost 14 years later, I can verify that what we learned works! Even in the face of some seemingly insurmountable challenges (which often do lead to divorce), we were able to not only overcome, but make our marriage stronger.
Now that I’ve experienced a marriage that is abundantly more than I ever thought possible, I want to help others have that, too. I earned a certificate in Relationship Coaching and became a certified SYMBIS facilitator. I have also been approved by The Gottman Institute to use their licensed tools with clients. Because I grew up with stepparents and created a new blended family when Todd and I married, I am also passionate about helping couples with the unique challenges of blended families. To better serve couples in this area, I have completed Smart Stepfamily Therapy training with Ron Deal, a leading authority and author on stepfamily relationships. Finally, to help me support clients in creating a truly sustainable change in their marriage, I have completed a certificate program in Applied Neuroscience, because all change begins in our minds.
Hi There!
I'm Todd.
Like Victoria, I have a passion for empowering couples to have better, stronger marriages. Although I grew up in a traditional home with parents who exemplified a good marriage, my first marriage ended in divorce. By the time Victoria and I met, I was searching for something – in myself and in a relationship – that would lead to that same kind of committed and fulfilling marriage my parents enjoyed. Victoria and I have learned how to make this happen through research, counseling, conferences, training and just about any resource we could find! And, of course, the best teacher – lived experiences!
​I am also a certified SYMBIS facilitator and continue to take every opportunity to learn more. Our journey has not been without challenges; but I can honestly say without the effort and the tools, our marriage may not have survived them. Now our relationship is stronger than ever, and our desire is to help others achieve the same fulfillment in marriage.
​Together, we work with pre-marital couples, married couples and those who formed (or will form) a blended family. We also work with individuals – even when their spouse isn’t ready or willing to be part of the process. We use standard coaching techniques, integrated with the science of behavior change, and research-backed tools to empower as well as equip our clients. Also, in collaboration with a talented and committed team, we lead the marriage ministry at Daybreak Church.
