East Cobb Relationship Center
Marietta, GA
Marriage is complex. Most couples reach a point when they desire more intimacy and closeness than they are currently experiencing. Before long, the relationship in which we are meant to feel the safest leaves us feeling frustrated, distant, and insecure. Due to benign neglect or something more nefarious such as unresolved trauma, addiction, or affairs, couples find themselves ill-equipped to face the forces that cause all marriages to drift toward disconnection. As a counselor and pastor and through personal experience, Matt has seen and experienced the loneliness and pain that broken relationships cause. He uses collaborative, structured, and emotionally focused processes to create a plan for increasing connection while identifying and minimizing barriers to intimacy. Every person deserves to have the skills and knowledge to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. You don't have to wait. Therapy can be a way to be understood and understand yourself and your spouse, but the process shouldn't be a mystery. Matt teaches couples how to speak the language of emotion, heal their wounds, and strengthen their bond.
