Great Couples Counseling in Lakeland, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have extensive training and experience helping couples navigate some of the most painful and difficult chapters of their relationships. My approach is both compassionate and practical, shaped by years of walking with couples across the country as they work through challenges of trust, intimacy, and communication. I have also been featured in leading outlets such as Forbes, The Knot, Women’s Health, Yahoo, Self, Glamour, and AARP for my insights on relationships, intimacy, and communication. Whether you are facing ongoing conflict, a loss of closeness, or the aftermath of betrayal, I would be honored to meet with you and your partner.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Often times couples will enter counseling due to issues within their relationship which stems as a result of poor communication skills. Counseling can help couples learn effective ways of communicating with each other and teach boundaries within their relationship. Assessments will be given to learn each couples love language and to determine how they like to be shown affection. Couples will benefit from the use of counseling and will see a difference in their relationship by using the different skills learned in session together.

I absolutely love couples counseling, and it is my favorite type of counseling. Most therapist despise couples counseling for many different reasons, but I find it fun and exciting. I will provide an unbiased environment to help you and your significant other resolve your conflict. I also offer pre-marital counseling for couples who want to build the tools needed strengthen their future marriage.

Relationships are at the heart of being human, and they often shape how we experience the world. Whether you’re struggling with communication issues, conflict, or rebuilding trust after infidelity, therapy can help you find clarity and connection. I work with individuals and couples to explore patterns, strengthen emotional intimacy, and improve conflict resolution skills.

Working with couples is extremely specialized and should only be done with a trained clinician. Please ask the right questions to ensure you are in good hands with someone who knows how to guide you. The client is the relationship - not the individuals! So an individual therapist is not the way to go here. At KML, we have a trained PSYPACT psychologist who is licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), so she can work in any PSYPACT state. This work should focus on what the couple wants for their relationship (sometimes the goal is uncoupling kindly), guiding the couple in healthy growth of the relationship, and all without shame! Relationships are hard and we are here to help!

Are you feeling lonely in your own marriage? Disrespected? Misunderstood? It doesn’t have to stay this way. Far too often, high-achieving men feel disrespected and lonely within their own marriages. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help men and their wives to rediscover the incredible value they bring to the marriage, and help them negotiate a hopeful path forward. I will help you identify destructive patterns in your marriage and provide healthier alternatives. I’ll help you improve communication, learn to fight fair, and increase understanding and connection. While it’s not easy work, there is hope. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you fight for your marriage.

We are passionate about and skilled with helping couples to repair and strengthen their relationship by utilizing techniques from evidence-based practices such as Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method. These techniques help get to the heart of the matter to increase relationship satisfaction and heal emotional injuries that may have occurred throughout the relationship or as a result of previous trauma.
