Compassionate Couples Counseling
I enjoy working with couples and primarily use EFT (emotionally focused therapy). Communication in a relationship is more than just verbal and visual cues, it is also a language of emotions. In couples therapy we slowly learn to understand what our partner is communicating by understanding his/her unique emotional language and what motivates each person emotionally.
Infertility
True Self Counseling of Tennessee specializes in helping individuals and couples with their struggles of infertility. This is a painful journey because it entails grieving. There is a grief in wanting a child and not being able to have one. Individuals and couples often grieve in silence because they do not recognize this aspect of grief, which is at the core of this struggle. The grief exists because a deep, true desire is not only unfulfilled, but sometimes cannot be fulfilled or is perceived to be impossible.
Life can be heartbreaking. Finding resilience in the midst of the heartbreak is part of the counseling process.
