Relationship Issues Therapists in Rochester Hills, MI

Fighting in circles without resolution? Struggling to communicate or feel understood? Arguing or shutting down? Feeling disconnected and sad or scared? Relationship struggles are common. Low desire, affairs, and trust violations are symptoms of deeper relationship problems. Couples therapy with a specialist can make all the difference. I like helping people get down to business so they can understand and correct problems at the core. Clients love my genuine, straightforward approach and learn a lot in sessions. They leave feeling safe, with increased hope, and tasks to work on to improve their lives and achieve their goals.

My practice is founded upon a dedication to mental wellness and I work with people committed to achieving life-congruence by bringing into balance their past histories, present needs and desires, and future goals.

My therapy approach involves a collaborative process with the patient as an expert in their experiencing of the world joined with my expertise in modality and method.

The client/therapist relationship is one of the strongest indicators of client success and the therapy hour is that rare occasion where one can feel safe sharing their thoughts, feelings, fears, disappointments, and dreams without judgment.

My clients regularly comment on my ability to remember even the simplest of details from previous sessions even upon returning to therapy years later. I'm also continually adding to my knowledge base which allows me to add new dimensions to the therapy hour.
