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

Couples therapy is always more difficult than individual because I am having to listen carefully to two people. I think it is highly important for both parties to be heard, understood and validated. I usually address their differences, as well as mutual commonalities. Couples are usually in difficulty when their needs are not being met. Communication, lack of intimacy and issue of forgiveness continue to be the major issues. I have devised a program entitled "The Ingredients of An Ideal Relationship" that I use with couples. It has been highly effective in helping couples identify their issues and work towards resolution.

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.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with years of training and experience helping couples to navigate the most painful and difficult chapter in their relationships.

I have been featured in Forbes, the Knot, and other leading media outlets discussing relationships, intimacy, 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.

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.

Couples Counseling can be specific or broad in nature. Counseling may help a couple work through a specific issue or conflict, or it may help the couple to improve communication, change patterns and work through long standing issues. Our therapists work with couples at all stages - whether in a new relationship and attempting to work out conflicts that are preventing them for progressing, or in a long term relationship and wishing to increase emotional depth and intimacy.

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.

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?

Do you feel misunderstood at times? Are you looking to find ways to make your marriage more meaningful? Do you want to take your relationship from good to great? I am a psychotherapist who understands that life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. As a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator and Professional Counselor, I compassionately listen and support couples reconnect and emotionally move forward to bring a healthy balance back into their lives. Couples will gain skills for a rewarding partnership, discover the importance of effective communication and explore resolving conflict using healthy communication.

I utilize my past experience as a family mediator and current experience as a clinical social worker to work collaboratively with couples to assist them in meeting their goals they wish to accomplish as a result of therapy. Typical issues that come up include communication, evaluating the relationship for marriage, evaluating the relationship for divorce, or any other issue that you as a couple are struggling with. Therapy/counseling of this nature is often 3 - 6 months of sessions every other week. Together, we will build on your strengths so that you feel empowered in your healing journey.

The key to any healthy relationship is communication. When communication breaks down it can put distance between the people involved in the relationship and damage it. If you feel that you are not able to effectively communicate with your partner, couples therapy can help. Couples therapy teaches you to communicate in a more effective manner. Skills like listening and compromising are enforced so that disagreements can be settled in a way that leaves both sides feeling better. If you would like to discuss options for couples counseling please call me today.

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.

When Couples come in to work with me, I listen to both of them equally and help them put into words what their concerns really are. Once this is defined, I have all kinds of skills that help them. Usually this comes down to communication breakdowns, so I teach them specific tools for effective communication.I even role play these skills right in my office so they can practice them through the week. If I notice one party has some concerns individually, I make individual counseling available to them. I keep them on task each week so they do not loose sight or hope in the process. This has led to over a 90% success rate when working with couples. come in for a free consultation!!!
