MARRIAGE COUNSELING & COUPLES COUNSELING
When you got married you never expected your relationship would end up being full of SO MUCH drama and pain.
You love your partner, but your life has made it difficult to find the time to connect with each other. Now, you don't feel as close as you used to.
You have the same arguments with your spouse over and over again.
Both of you want to make your marriage work, but you're not sure how to fix the damage in your relationship.
Marriage is supposed to be one of life’s most precious gifts. But, sadly, it can also become one of life’s greatest sources of pain and distress. You entered into marriage expecting satisfaction, joy, and companionship. But after time your marriage is full of anxiety, isolation, and disappointment. No matter how hard you try, you cannot seem to stop disappointing or hurting each other. Maybe, your marriage has become so painful that you have turned to alcohol, workaholism, or extramarital affairs to numb the pain. Perhaps, you and your spouse have hurt each other so much that you have shut down emotionally. You avoid one other, and you're essentially living like frustrated roommates.

My Approach to MARRIAGE Counseling in brentwood, TN and the nashville area
I will use several therapeutic interventions to help you and your spouse find healing and happiness. In counseling, I primarily utilize the Gottman Method.
Some of the primary tools that I will teach you in Christian couples counseling include:
Strategies to process old wounds
Techniques to resolve conflict
Tools to help you talk about unsolvable problems in a more productive way
Suggestions to increase fondness and intimacy
Techniques to regulate extreme, destructive emotions that often occur during and after conflicts.
I always tailor my counseling approach to be appropriate for your particular situation. My goal is to meet your needs as a couple and help strengthen your relationship.
Marriage Counseling is Appropriate for Couples with All Kinds of Challenges
It should be noted that couples counseling is not just for couples who are in the midst of a crisis, like couples considering separation or divorce. Actually, marriage counseling can be quite helpful for couples who are just struggling, and it even works for couples with good marriages. Couples counseling is helpful for couples who are simply in need of support during challenging times. For example, some couples seek help during hard times such as during the birth of a new child, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a job. In fact, I like to think of couples counseling as a "marriage tune-up." If a couple chooses to come to counseling early on in the course of their problems then it can prevent further pain and dysfunction down the road. Nonetheless, whether you are experiencing growing pains in your marriage or your marriage is in need of serious repair, I can help. Working together we can help you to build a sound and secure marriage. A marriage that is filled with joy and is marked by trust, commitment, and safety.
