Welcome

I’m Michael, and I approach marriage counseling with the belief that it’s not only possible to fight less, but to rediscover joy.

It can sometimes feel impossible to learn how to communicate with one another. It’s not. There is a pattern to conflict in intimate relationships. I help couples like you learn to recognize that pattern and transform conflict into connection. I’ll help you rediscover your passion. Real intimacy. Not just physical intimacy, but the kind of closeness that flows out of a truly deep connection.

It is never too late to begin healing a marriage in distress.

The pattern often looks something like this: when you experience distress, one of you likely moves in, pursuing a connection. But because you’re in distress, it probably comes out with a lot of frustration and criticism. Your partner sees this pursuit as an attack, and they become defended and withdrawn. The more they withdraw, the more you pursue, and on and on it goes, until you’re both too exhausted to continue. No one wins. No one is happy.

I practice an effective method of marriage counseling called Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy. The goal of EFT is to help you and your partner access your deeper emotions so you can reach for one another in conflict, rather than pull away.

Please take your time to explore my website. You’re not looking for just any therapist, but the right therapist for you. Successful marriage counseling requires a quality relationship with a therapist you trust. I encourage you to give me a call or use my online scheduler. I’d love to speak with you directly so we can start your journey to a happier, more fulfilling relationship today.

Marriage and Couples

It probably feels like – no matter what you try – you and your partner seem to drift further apart. You are so different, and sometimes it seems impossible that anyone could help you find one another again. You may even feel like you can hardly talk anymore because it always seems to end in an argument. The good news is, I consistently help couples just like you rediscover what it means to have a vibrant and fulfilling relationship. The question is, how?

Counseling for Men

One of the strangest discoveries I’ve made as a couples therapist is I became much better at providing individual counseling for men. It might seem strange, but truth be told, I don’t think there are individual problems. Problems seem to only arise in the context of struggling relationships. And for most men, that’s usually a feeling that they aren’t good enough for their partner. Maybe that’s how you feel. Maybe you came to this realization on your own, or, more likely, you’ve been told what you’re doing isn’t good enough and you should seek out counseling.
