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

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.

I have worked with many couples who want to have a better life together. I start with you wherever you are at and with what your goals are. My experience has been that the majority of challenges come from poor or lack of communication. Both partners may think they are being very clear in what they share, but in fact they each are not understanding the other. Working as a couple means compromise and having an understanding of what is important to each other and when there are communication breakdowns, having the tools to work through them in a healthy way. It is quite possible to have a much better life together when you learn what is missing and what you need to do to find it.

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?

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 will guide you with compassion, empathy, and a skill set that is born in working with couples across the country in their healing journeys. 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.

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.

I have seen relationships strained by a number of factors, including communication problems, financial stress, sex, and infidelity. Because marriages and other intimate relationships don't come with an instruction manual, I can help you learn to identify and break the negative cycles you may find yourself caught up in with your partner, and ultimately improve your relationship satisfaction.

By combining Imago Relationship Therapy with other psychological theories and techniques, I help couples learn to navigate difficulties, break patterns of conflict, and communicate better, making it easier for the relationship to heal. Marriage counseling is an investment in your relationship that pays dividends over a lifetime together. Don't wait too long, hoping it will go away. You deserve to feel loving hopefulness again!

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.

I have found that couples have difficulty communicating with each other. They almost always see the problems within their relationship as "theirs" not "mine". Sometimes this is true. But most often the struggles come from both. In my work with couples, we will figure out what is preventing each partner to communicate effectively. To say what they are feeling so the partner can hear and understand. If communication is not the only issue the couple is having, we will explore what is really going on and why for real results.

Using the model IMAGO Relationship Therapy which is based on the book, Getting the Love You Want, by Harville Hendrix offers several different communication techniques helping couples resolve conflicts and move toward a more compassionate marriage. We help heterosexual, gay, lesbian couples as well as couples with open marriages and those who choose monogamy.
