Margie Wheelhouse
Counselor, MA, LMFT, LPC, NCC
Verified
Hope is better when it's combined with a plan. If you are having too many fights and not enough resolution, I can help you. I help couples figure out how to resolve stuff once and for all. Even when you're successful in most areas of life, It's hard to be happy when problems are chronically unresolved. It's even worse when the past hangs over the relationship, or you feel like room-mates. If your relationship problems are weighing down your otherwise great life, then counseling can make a big difference.
