What is the cost of staying stuck?

You Weren't Meant To Just Survive Your Marriage

You can rebuild connection, clarity, and confidence and actually enjoy your relationship again

Here's what it takes, what it costs,

and how to get started

You've Already Taken The First Step

Most couples avoid this conversation. But you're here. That means something.

You might feel stuck. Disconnected. Exhausted from the same arguments or growing silence.

But you don't have to stay there.

I believe couples are capable of real change when they are given the right support, a clear plan, and the willingness to show up with intention.

This is not a quick fix.

Most couples didn't get here overnight. And it won't shift overnight either. But when both people are willing to do the work, real change is possible.

I will walk you through what to expect, how this process works, and what it costs.

You can stop guessing and start taking real steps forward.

"Mike has literally saved our marriage!"

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Mike has literally saved our marriage. When we first came to Mike we were in a very dark place, but through his sessions we finally see the light. The resources and guidance he has provided me and my husband are unmatched! We are often sharing these resources with others and recommend him to our friends. Thanks Mike!

MEET your therapist

Hey, I'm Mike!

A Real Plan. Not Just Hope.

I ask couples to commit to 12 sessions because it gives us enough time to build momentum. I want couples to know at the beginning that this is usually not a quick fix because many of these habits have been around for a long time.


This is therapy with a clear arc.

By session 4, if no one is doing the work, we pause and talk about it.
We adjust pacing, homework, or expectations.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about ownership.


Usually around session 12, you will feel the shift and the new behaviors are starting to take more root.

Increased Accountability and Ownership

Better Listening and Communication Skills

Break Old Habits and Build a Loving Culture

Frequently Asked Questions

I understand there can be some questions.

Here are some of the common ones.

If you have more, then shoot me a text of your questions!

Question 1: Do you take insurance?

I am not in network with any insurance companies I would be considered out of network with most policies. If you want to work with me and want help getting your insurance to reimburse a portion of it, I can provide documentation to help you submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.


Insurance companies already aren’t great at helping people that have a policy get covered for mental health counseling. They are tend to dictate how much therapists get paid which is often not sustainable to cover us to stay in business. They also can limit how many sessions they will cover for you.

They can also do this procedure called "claw backs" where basically they say they can they overpaid therapists and those therapists have to pay back money at the end of the year.

They also require a diagnosis to be documented for them to cover you. I can provide the diagnosis and procedure code but I like to make sure people are informed before they give that information as part of their records.

Question 2: Why 12 session commitment?

Anything under 10-12 sessions is generally considered short term. For lasting momentum and change to have time to take root then we have to give the skills time to develop and grow.

The first 4 sessions tend to be us stabilizing the relationship and getting the right trajectory.

The next 8-10 sessions tend to be learning and applying the new skills and trying to undue year (or decades) worth of unhelpful behaviors.

The sessions after that tend to be applying those skills to other areas of your relationship and gaining more mastery of the skills so they take root and are the new way you to relate to each other.

Question 3: What if we don't want to continue?

You are free to discontinue counseling whenever you feel you are done. Although I ask for a commitment from the couple, I will not force you to continue coming to treatment. I love discussing with couples where they feel they are in their progress and where are they growing. I prefer to have an open conversation and practice good communication skills if you want to make changes.

I tend to see that many couples want to discontinue around session 4-6 because they are no longer in crisis and things tend to start to feel better. They're applying the skills and catching some momentum but I caution against stopping at this point because the new behaviors are not in place firmly enough to be sustained.

Question 4: What are Intensives?

Sometimes I hour isn't enough time to really go into the material. Sometimes it feels like just when you two are really digging into everything that we now only have 10 minutes. Intensives are a way to help with that. We block off 3-4 hours to be able to really address an issue.

This is great for couples that want to deep dive or it's also a great option that have hectic and variable schedules so they have a hard time finding a consistent appointment time. We can find a time block and have that be our meeting time.
