Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy can help save and transform your relationship

At the Center for Relational Excellence we help couples escape reactive cycles allowing them to connect for a lifetime of love. Counting on relationship skills or behaviors is not enough to calm the emotional centers in the brain. Learning how to answer your partner’s fears with compassionate responses heals trauma triggers and builds emotional trust. I will help you move your intention to love from your head to heart-felt expressions that will create a lifetime of trust and relationship satisfaction.

While we all deserve to love and be loved, our experiences with relationships growing up can challenge our ability to stay connected to others over the course of our lives. Relationship education can help couples and individuals understand how to build relationship foundations that they can build upon. Understanding the science of attachment, how to grow emotional intelligence, and personality differences are invaluable for helping you and your relationship thrive. With relationship foundations you can experience those transformative “aha moments” where real change happens.

Michael’s many resources – books, poetry, music, online courses, seminars and retreats – will help you learn with your head and express with your heart.

We are more than the sum of our parts. While psychology is crucial for helping us understand ourselves and facilitate change, it does not explain or address the spiritual core of who we are. Depth therapy, on the other hand, creates a foundation in love that enables us to evolve beyond the fear rooted in our survival instincts. Psychospiritual Therapy is based on psychological science and theory while also integrating the ancient wisdom of loving spirituality.
