Couples Therapy in Brentwood, TN

You long for closeness, but anxiety, conflict, or disconnection keep getting in the way.

Couples Therapy Can Transform Your Relationship

  • Is conflict causing strain in your relationship?

  • Are you stuck in repetitive fights that never get resolved?

  • Have you given up on things ever getting better?

  • Are you struggling to communicate effectively with your partner?

We all need connection.

But often, the person with whom we want to feel the closest connection is the person who becomes hardest to reach.

Couples become disconnected for a variety of reasons, leaving them struggling to find their way back to each other. Over time, the demands of daily life, such as work pressures and raising children, can cause the emotional bond between partners to weaken.

Communication breaks down, conflicts get swept under the carpet, unresolved issues from childhood, and a lack of quality time together all further deepen the disconnection. This emotional distance can lead to feelings of loneliness and frustration, making it increasingly challenging to restore the connection you so badly desire.

The longer this disconnection persists, the more difficult it becomes to reconnect, requiring intentional effort, open communication, and a willingness to address underlying issues.

Couples Therapy

As a marriage and family therapist,

I specialize in helping couples reestablish meaningful connections through various evidence-based techniques, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which centers on identifying and transforming negative interaction patterns into more secure and intimate ones.

By working to improve communication and emotional attunement, couples can better understand each other's needs and heal past wounds.

I integrate attachment-based interventions to assist couples in understanding their attachment styles and deepening their emotional bond. Through these interventions, couples can rekindle their connection, build resilience, and create a fulfilling future together.

Additionally, I incorporate the Gottman Method, which emphasizes building trust and cultivating shared meaning in relationships. This method equips couples with practical tools to navigate conflicts and promote mutual understanding.

When you work with me you will learn how to…

  • build trust within your relationship

  • navigate conflict in your relationship

  • communicate effectively in your relationship

  • keep the spark alive in your relationshsip

  • Improve intimacy and sexual satisfaction
