Great Couples Counseling in Durand, MI. Therapy to heal relationships.

I use an emotion-focused approach to couples therapy, helping each partner understand the needs of the others that have gone unmet, leading them to seek counseling. I will help couples understand how past experiences form the way that each person sees a relationship and work with the couple to overcome obstacles such as communication, betrayal, or neglect.

I am a relationship therapist with years of training and experience helping couples to navigate the most painful and difficult chapters in their relationship. I will guide you with compassion, empathy, and a skill set that is born in working with couples across the country in their relationship challenges. I have been featured in Forbes, the Knot, and other leading media outlets discussing relationships, sex, and communication. I’d love to connect with you and your partner about the unique circumstances that you are facing and how I might be able to help.

Do you and your spouse have the same arguments over and over again? Are you holding onto past hurts? Do you disagree on how to raise your children? Research has shown that there are certain characteristics and skills that people in happy marriages have like nurturing fondness and admiration, turning toward each other instead of away, and allowing your partner to influence you. These are all skills that can be developed in a marriage through marital counseling. You can stop the arguing and reconnect emotionally in your relationship.

It’s no secret, relationships can be a struggle. You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to make it better. You’ve argued. You’ve ignored one another. You’ve tried to talk it out. And nothing worked. Now what? Communicating and maintaining intimacy as a couple is hard. Sometimes it seems like you are speaking different languages. We provide Couples Counseling to help our clients learn to communicate, love, and like one another again.​ Whether you are a married couple, dating, engaged, or something else, relationship counseling can help to tear down the walls between you and develop the connectedness that you desire. You want to be able to not just get along but to thrive.

There is hope! Oftentimes in life we just need support - someone to listen, provide compassion, a guiding light - to help you find peace within. I believe in the power of relationships and that together we can grow towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. When we become overwhelmed or uncertain about the paths we choose to travel, it can be helpful to orient ourselves and take inventory of the resources and tools available. Despite each person's need to walk their own distinct path, it can be beneficial to obtain wisdom and guidance from supportive allies. I would like to help you increase your quality of life and realize your true potential.
