Marriage Counseling in Southern Pines, NC
Helping people in emotionally strained relationships rebuild connection, trust, and clarity so they can feel seen, supported, and understood again
The Connection You Miss Is Still Possible
Feeling Distant From the One You Love
You keep trying to fix things. You’ve read the books, had the late-night talks, maybe even pushed your own feelings aside to avoid another argument. But nothing really changes. You’re walking on eggshells or completely shut down, wondering how much longer you can keep pretending everything’s fine. You’re tired of feeling unseen, unheard, and emotionally distant from the person you used to be closest to.
Maybe you’re asking yourself, Is this fixable? or Why am I the only one trying? The emotional weight of this disconnection can feel like too much. You miss how things used to feel. You just want peace, connection, and to know that your needs matter too. Marriage counseling gives you a chance to face these struggles with support, learn new ways to communicate, and rebuild the connection you thought was lost.
Support for couples who feel stuck
What Is Marriage Counseling?
Marriage counseling is a type of therapy where you and your partner work together to understand what’s breaking down and how to reconnect. We focus on building trust, improving communication, healing past hurt, and learning how to be a team again. Whether you're dealing with constant arguing, silence, betrayal, or just feeling disconnected, we create space to talk through it honestly and safely.
Our work together isn’t about blame. It’s about learning to really hear each other again. You’ll gain practical tools to communicate more clearly, manage conflict with more calm, and start to rebuild the emotional connection that’s gotten lost. Therapy gives you a space to feel supported, not judged. You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
Why Choose Me for Marriage Counseling
Whether you're feeling disconnected, overwhelmed by constant conflict, or unsure if your relationship can recover, marriage counseling offers a safe space to slow down and figure things out together.
Innerpeace Counseling
Guided by Experience Grounded in Compassion
With 7 years as a therapist and decades of lived experience navigating military life, parenting, grief, and long-term marriage, I understand how layered relationships can be. I’ve supported women and couples through everything from emotional burnout and communication breakdowns to trauma, betrayal, and rebuilding trust.
What makes my approach different is that I deeply believe in the power of connection, first with yourself, then with others. I use a holistic, trauma-informed lens that honors your story and helps you feel grounded in your values. You won’t be met with judgment or clinical coldness. You’ll be met with warmth, curiosity, and steady support to help you feel like yourself again.

A New Way Forward
You Can Reconnect and Feel Close Again
A lot of people I work with just want to feel some relief again. Imagine waking up without that constant heaviness in your chest. Conversations don’t feel like battles anymore. The tension at home isn’t as sharp, and it starts to feel like you're on the same team again, instead of working against each other.
It’s not about having a heathy relationship, it’s about creating space where you both feel safe, supported, and more connected. You might notice moments where things feel lighter. You laugh again. You start feeling more like yourself, and like the relationship actually has a chance to feel good again. That kind of change is possible, and it starts small.
