"It's no exaggeration to say that Mike changed our lives. We came to him for couple's therapy two years into our marriage, almost as a last resort "check the box," nearly certain (though terrified) that our relationship had run its course. We were skeptical therapy would be all "rainbows and crystals," but immediately warmed to Mike when we saw he was grounded, open but structured, and very very thoughtful. With commitment and Mike's help over the time we worked together, we eventually emerged with a stronger foundation for our relationship than we had ever had, and a renewed love and understanding for one another.
Mike has tremendous reserves of kindness, empathy and optimism about people and relationships. We always felt he was very much there with us, living each of our perspectives -- enabling us to feel seen and helping us to see ourselves and each other more clearly. He cared deeply and his faith in us and our relationship carried us through some of our darkest moments of fear and loneliness. Over the course of our time together, our relationship with Mike grew to feel more like a very close friendship and by the time it became clear our treatment had run its course, we were genuinely sad not to be coming back.
We cannot recommend Mike highly enough. We've now been married over half a decade and are looking forward to starting a family together on very firm footing. No one writes in the relationship manual that you're going to fall in and out of love, but if you're strong, committed, and have a good tour guide on the way, then you'll get to a place infinitely better and it's worth it."
