Couples Counseling Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI
I've treated over 1200 couples who've experienced infidelity.
Finding the right therapist to guide you through a particular setback, conflict or crisis along life's journey can be a daunting process....I know. Being a psychologist for 30 years and having been involved in hundreds of hours of my own personal therapy during my doctoral training, I understand the importance of the right client/therapist match. Successful outcomes are more promising when one feels comfortable, safe and confident with a competent experienced professional. Selecting a therapist should not be an impulsive decision so take your time and be particular since you are about to invest time, finances and trust.

We believe that the psychotherapy relationship should be based on respect and healthy boundaries.
Sometimes life can present us with difficulties, as well as opportunities, that we don't expect or aren't sure how to handle. Many people find ways of healing, growing, and even striving through the counseling process. Once you've decided to seek out psychotherapy, finding the therapist who is the right fit for you can feel overwhelming. The psychologists, professional counselors and social workers at River City Psychological Services (RCPS) strive to create a safe environment where people can grow and heal.

The choice to seek therapy is often complicated and forming a relationship with your therapist is an important part of the process. I create a collaborative space where you can discuss your concerns, identities and story. Together we can identify where you would like therapy to take you, build on day-to-day techniques and explore deeper patterns and experiences that may create barriers. My approach is integrative and incorporates skills, narrative processing, metaphor, and intentional decision making. I hope that through our work you will feel empowered to make changes and feel more secure, stable, and in sync with your values.

You love your partner and value this relationship - you just need a little help breathing new life into it.
Are you tired of feeling frustrated or hurt in your relationship? Do you have the same argument over and over with your partner but yet things never seem to change? You may blame each other or speak with sarcasm or defensiveness when you talk. It's easier sometimes to just avoid the hard conversations but then the problem never gets solved and you're left feeling unheard. Maybe you walk on eggshells because you can't be honest about your true feelings. Or perhaps your connection has grown stale over time and the passion just isn't there anymore. You'd love to have deeper emotional intimacy and exciting sex with the one you love.

My work tends to focus more on strengthening the relationship that forms between us and using the trustworthy, secure attachment that we've formed to help us go deep in exploring and healing past and present relational wounds.
I believe that we all need safe, supportive relationships in order to not only survive, but to thrive. As a therapist, I aim to serve as that sense of stability amongst whatever chaos my clients may be feeling or facing. In our work, I won't tell you what to do or how to fix your problems - I wholeheartedly believe that you already hold those answers somewhere within you. With that being said, I do believe that it is fully my job to collaborate & explore with you, to bring you my honest experience & thoughts, and to work with you to help you uncover & find your own unique answers & truths that work best for you & for your healing.

Like all people at some point in life, you may be in a place where you're suffering, feeling lost, or just looking for a place to talk. When things become overwhelming, it can help to have a space to process. If this describes you, I would love to meet you! I have worked with individuals across diverse backgrounds and age ranges. Most commonly, I have worked with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, family struggles, relationship stress, and life transitions.

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and couples.
If you feel misunderstood, I seek to bring understanding. Perhaps you have been labeled with a disorder, feel like you are on the outside looking in, or have a general need to put into words what it is like to be you. You may have a lifetime of struggles, find yourself at a troubling crossroads, not knowing who you are, seeking clarity, or just need someone to listen to you.

I help parents, couples, LGBTQ+, high achievers, athletes +.
You are worthy. I believe in you. You think no one gets you, no one can help? You've tried, nothing works. Therapy is weak, pointless. You're strong (at least you're supposed to be). I get it. Asking for help is hard; change is scary. Plus, you're too broken. It feels impossible. Maybe people failed you. Sad? Lost? Alone? Who am I? Insecure? Anxiety? I'm a doctor with real world expertise who can help you - yes, you. No issue is off limits. Men stuff? Sex/Sexuality? LGBTQ+? Relationships? Family/Parenting? Teen life? Legal? Drugs? Self-esteem? High achiever? Sports? Fitness help? I'm real, kind, warm & blunt. Let's triumph together!

I have worked with individuals and couples with a variety of issues.
As a counselor it is my desire to see people grow and change in order to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with clients to help them see their potential and to take steps in the growth process. Life isn't always easy and sometimes we can all benefit from some guidance as we work to overcome the difficulties and obstacles we face.
