couples therapy in Allen Park, MI
online therapy across Michigan & Florida
You’re ready for more.
The couples I see, struggle as your relationship might, despite their commitment, self-awareness, and love for each other. The truth is, maintaining healthy relationships can be complex.
When they initially seek help, they often sense that something is “off” in their dynamic. Conversations easily escalate into heated arguments, and they may find it difficult to express or receive affection. In some cases, sex is their main connection but it’s been a while since they’ve had fun together.
Many struggle to communicate clearly and openly for fear of being judged. They learn to hold stuff in and explode later so their true dreams for their marriage remain unspoken.
They've experimented with various strategies, such as check-ins and timeouts, and may have even sought clergy counseling. Still, nothing seems to work consistently. It pains them to see that their marriage is so complicated when other areas of their lives are thriving.
For some individuals, their self-doubt and past relationship history gets in the way of achieving the relationship they want. They aren’t the kind of friends or parents they want to be.
They feel like they’re failing at being a great partner and their confidence in changing for the better is slowly drifting away.
Before they came to see me, they feared their relationship was beyond help. They worried their current negative habits weren’t going to change because some have tried couples therapy already and some are currently in individual counseling.
I guide couples towards reconnecting
Like my clients, you deserve to experience a relationship where happiness is a result of mutual understanding, appreciation, and working together at reaching common goals.
I believe that having fun and enjoying intimacy (emotional, sexual, physical) with your partner is attainable.
My goal is to guide couples as they work through what’s holding them back from being who they aspire to be.… maybe make sure it’s also realistic!
Couples therapy isn’t:
Being told what role each person in the relationship is supposed to have
Me downplaying your attempted solutions to work through conflict
Me picking sides with the person who makes the most “sense” in the session
Getting all the answers in a session and everything is fixed forever
build a stronger bond.
We’ll begin with your initial intake session to get a sense of what your needs are and where I can help. I’m excited to help clients who want to have a happy, connected, healthy, and positive relationship. I work with people who want to do the work and get excited about their future.
What we discuss in therapy is 100% confidential. You may feel vulnerable initially, but our pace, what you disclose, and how we approach solutions and coping skills is up to you. I will challenge you, show you different perspectives, and help you find the tools you need to have a more fulfilling relationship.
If you are ready to build a relationship worth holding on to, I’d love to help you get there. Schedule your no-obligation, free 20-minute phone consultation today. It’s time to turn your relationship around. I'm here to help.
