Imagine more health, fun & love in your relationship.

Working with Gretchen saved my marriage. After being married for nearly 2 years, completely unaware of how our undealt with trauma was bleeding into our marriage, we began working with Gretchen. Although it took a lot of time and patience from both parties, we learned how to communicate effectively with one another and mastered the skill of repair. Had we not gone through therapy, I can confidently say our marriage was headed towards divorce. Now we're 7 months pregnant and about to welcome our 1st child, all because we chose to invest in our marriage and not give up.

I have been a client of Gretchen's since 2016 after the traumatic deaths of my mother & brother which left me suffering from a severe case of PTSD. Gretchen's patient and compassionate care saved my life. Her treatment using EMDR and kind and caring talk therapy changed my life. I'm so grateful to her. Best therapist I've ever experienced. I highly recommend her.

Gretchen was so understanding of our personal challenges after 10 years of marriage. She offered small shifts and personal reflection that has brought stability and joy back into our relationship. She’s great, great, great! No need to be of the same faith, open to all types of relationships.

Gretchen with OC Couples Center is amazing! She helped me navigate a very difficult time in my life while also respecting some sensitive boundaries. I loved working with Gretchen!

Thank you, Gretchen, for today's session. Holding the space for me to express myself meant a lot. Today was the first time I ever told my husband what I dislike about something he gives me. I have always been extra welcoming of all his efforts, but I felt strong enough to share that it wasn't necessarily my cup of tea. That was huge for me. My intent is always to honor and lovingly accept his efforts. And, it was important to let him know—that he doesn't know me that well. Thank you so much!

​​Hi I just wanted to tell you that I am thankful for you in my life. I feel like I’ve made more progress in the few weeks that we’ve been meeting than in years of therapy. So, thank you!
