Relationships Are Work. They Require Attention, Energy, and Care.
You and your partner have been together for a while. Maybe, you have children together and you’re both working full-time. Life is hectic and sometimes it feels like you’re just roommates. Or, you and your partner are just starting out. You’re in love and life is great, but you’re starting to notice some communication issues.
Maybe, you’re empty nesters and you’re finding that after years of raising children together, you have lost the connection you once had. Or, perhaps you are dealing with infidelity and are trying to work through the betrayal and rebuild trust. You both know this relationship is valuable, but you’re just not sure how to get back to where you were.

How Does Couples Counseling in Michigan and Florida Work?
Couples counseling is a process where you and your partner will meet and work with a couples therapist to address the challenges you’re facing in your relationship. Together, you will work to identify patterns of behavior and communication that are causing problems. Your couples therapist will also help to facilitate communication between you and your partner in a safe and supportive environment.
Along with giving objective feedback, your therapist will provide you with tools and resources to help you navigate the challenges you’re facing. All of this is done with the goal of helping you and your partner improve your relationship.
I am Here to Help You and Your Partner Achieve Your Goals, Overcome These Struggles, and Live a More Fulfilling and Meaningful Life.
As a couples therapist serving Michigan and Florida, I have worked with many couples who are going through a variety of different challenges. They have come to me with struggles they didn’t think they could overcome or find solutions to.
My Approach to Couples Counseling
As a couples therapist, I understand that no two individuals are the same. Even ones in a partnership. This is why I tailor our sessions to address the unique challenges you both face as a couple while also considering each of your individual needs. During our sessions, I will use Gottman’s methods, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches when working with you and your partner.
After I help assess what issues are present and offer an objective perspective, we will work together to foster the understanding, communication, and intimacy that you both desire.
Which will also be approached holistically and integratively. Meaning we will address how your previous experiences and relationships are impacting your ability to be in a healthy and thriving relationship now. This way, you and your partner can regain the passion, you both had from your first date and build a relationship that is even stronger than before. Along with communicating better than before and having a deeper understanding of each other. You both will also be able to navigate challenges such as blending families, raising children, making big decisions, etc. But you will be doing it as a team.
