Couples Counseling Therapists in Lansing, MI

I want to help you to break out of any negative patterns that interfere with your life. These patterns can be as simple as procrastinating at school, work or at home. They could be more serious, such as anxiety, problematic relationships or addictions. The focus of our work can be any pattern which makes it difficult for you to meet your responsibilities, which are painful or which cause you to miss the joy in life. I believe that you possess the innate qualities necessary to ease your suffering and to heal.

I believe everyone has the qualities they need to be successful, though they may not see it at first themselves.

With empowerment, support coordination, and skills training, people can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges to achieve success in their work, home, and community. I want to help people of all abilities and backgrounds recognize that with the right support, they have what it takes to achieve their goals.

No matter who you are, at some point or another, we all experience difficulties meeting the expectations of our roles or in finding the joy in life.
