Specializing in Couples Therapy as well as Individual, Divorce and Grief Counseling
Couples Therapy
Creating a fulfilling partnership requires patience, perseverance, and trust. At Mourning Dove Counseling, we offer 2-hour intensive sessions to help couples quickly address issues blocking intimacy. From our own experience, we believe a thriving relationship is possible with dedication, no matter the challenges.
Grief Counseling
After the loss of our son Nathan, we struggled to find a new sense of normal. We understand the deep, private pain of grief. We won’t tell you to move on, but we will help you gradually build a new reality where you can carry the memory of your loved one, feeling their continued presence through your actions.
Individual Counseling
Life’s challenges can often leave you feeling alone and overwhelmed. At Mourning Dove Counseling, we provide a safe, supportive space to help you address and reframe these struggles, guiding you toward greater ease and contentment.
Divorce Counseling
Divorce is never the expected outcome of marriage, but when it becomes inevitable, Mourning Dove Counseling helps individuals or couples address hurt, resentment, and unresolved issues, ensuring they don’t carry them forward—especially important when sharing parenting responsibilities.
