Faithful Connections Christian Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Relationships take work, and even strong couples can experience seasons of conflict, disconnection, or uncertainty. At Faithful Connections Christian Counseling, we help couples create a safe space to communicate openly, understand one another more deeply, and work toward a healthier, stronger relationship. Counseling can address communication difficulties, recurring conflict, trust issues, emotional disconnection, intimacy concerns, life transitions, parenting challenges, and the impact of past hurts on the relationship.
Our approach is collaborative and strengths-based, helping couples identify unhealthy patterns while building practical skills for communication, emotional connection, conflict resolution, boundaries, and mutual understanding. We believe the goal is not simply to eliminate conflict, but to help couples learn how to navigate disagreements in healthier and more respectful ways.
For couples who desire it, Christian faith can be incorporated through prayer, Scripture, biblical principles, forgiveness, and spiritual reflection. Whether you are experiencing significant relationship difficulties or simply want to strengthen an already healthy marriage, counseling can provide the guidance and support needed to reconnect and grow together.
You don't have to remain stuck in the same patterns. With commitment, support, and intentional effort, couples can rebuild connection, strengthen communication, and create a healthier relationship for the future.

Couples can hit roadblocks for various reasons. Having a third person to help facilitate the difficult conversations has proven to be quite helpful. Our focus in therapy will be communication, needs, boundaries and goals for the couple and each individual in the relationship.

Infused With Love Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, KAP
Relationships are the foundation of growth. Without relationships, the ability to learn and hopefully grow is decreased. Since we all as people have different ways of thinking and learning, our communication styles may not always be what we think they are. When it comes to relationships, it most likely wont be the same as the person you're with; because we're all different. We focus on helping couples to improve their communication with each other and with themselves as well as strengthen their emotional connection. In order to achieve those goals, we work on building empathy, trust and mutual understanding while teaching skills such as active listening and problem solving.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.
