Marriage counseling that Heals in Cottage Grove, MN. Restore Your Relationship.

Relationships are tough and we can find ourselves acting in ways that surprise even ourselves when things go wrong. So, you won't find me occupying the moral high ground, playing therapy tricks on you, or judging you.

A healthy marriage takes collaborative and honest work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of reconnection. Let's get started.

I see relationship problems as a result unfulfilled needs that no longer feel safe to share with your partner. I use Emotion-Focused Therapy to help partners understand, and safely share their vulnerabilities in order to re-establish deeply desired connection.

You are so sad, angry, and feeling lost. You think thoughts that scare you. You are terrified that this is your new normal. You don’t want this. You never did. You are devastated and unsure of how to even begin move forward. I understand and want to help.

I work as a creative guide helping couples and families find emotional healing and understanding while improving their ability to be a contented, well-functioning family. This includes issues such as infidelity, sexuality, anger, conflict, personality & power challenges

Relationships can be a fulfilling part of our life, but all too often they can deteriorate over time and begin to drain our energy. Where possible, we want to help restore relationships to being a source of support, joy, and contentment.

I work with couples and can help address issues related to communication problems, parenting, sexuality, infidelity, money, addictions and coping with mental health problems. Couple therapy is complex and I work you to develop a treatment plan that will work for you.

Often, our spouse or significant other bears the brunt of the daily stresses that we experience, and even the healthiest of relationships may need a check-up. Our dedicated, experienced therapists will work with you to help you strengthen your relationship.

Do you want to feel like you're on the same team again? Give and receive love in consistently constructive ways? I help you identify needs and emotions, leave behind unhealthy patterns, improve communication and conflict resolution, and enjoy life together.

As a marriage and family therapist, I support the marriage unless I am told otherwise. Couples often get stuck in the same cycle or dance. Clients identify their cycle and what emotions create it and their part in maintaining the cycle. Closeness is then created.

I love working with couples! I have advanced, specialized training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach proven to help couples. EFT will help you feel safer and more connected and get you away from endless arguing that goes nowhere.
