Marriage Counseling
For High Achieving Men and Their Wives
Are you a successful man who’s struggling in his marriage? As frustrated and discouraged as you might be, there is hope. Providing online marriage counseling to high achieving men and their wives is what I do, and I would be honored to work with you. In our sessions together I can help you and your wife improve communication, rebuild intimacy, and regain trust. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an ordained pastor, a business owner, and an entrepreneur. I’m also married with 4 kids, so I understand the challenges you’re going through not only professionally, but personally.
Until we meet, I won’t know the details of your unique story. But I can take a guess… You sacrifice your life at work not only for the thrill of the competition, but also because you love your wife and children dearly. You endure the the long hours, the weight of responsibility, and all the stress because you love them, and want to provide them with a good life. And yet, your wife doesn’t seem to understand. Instead of coming home to a refuge where you feel supported and appreciated, you come home to far too much conflict and drama. The exact opposite of what you need. So many assumptions and misunderstandings. You feel taken for granted. The world outside respects you and admires you. Why does it feel like this in your own home? And let’s be honest. It’s not all her fault. You’ve made your mistakes too. You’ve fallen victim to unhealthy ways of coping with your stress, many of which drives her hurts intimacy and erodes trust. Marriage wasn’t supposed to be this way. But thankfully, marriage can heal. Over the last 15 years I’ve seen it over and over again with my clients. There is hope.
If you choose to work with me, I’ll strive to understand your perspective, as well as you’re wife’s. I’ll identify the old hurts, the misunderstandings, and the negative patterns that erode your relationship, and provide strategies for a fresh start. I’ll teach you better ways of communicating, especially around difficult subjects, and have you practice in my office. As the “referee,” I won’t allow either of you to fall back into your old patterns and I’ll hold your feet to the fire with compassion, but also with firmness. I’ll also call out the individual issues that are getting in the way of the marriage, and recommend individual counseling when necessary. Religious or not, there’s something sacred about marriage. There’s something worth fighting for. And for marriages to survive, things like forgiveness and grace are much needed but often hard to find. And so for those that want it, I’m happy to include a Christian Counseling perspective as well.
I believe there is hope for your marriage. And if you’re willing to invest the time, money, and energy that is necessary, I will help you walk that difficult road. Love is not only a feeling, but a commitment to keep working, keep fighting, and keep loving until the feelings come back. I am still taking a limited number of new clients, and if you are willing to invest the time, money, and energy, I would be happy to work with you. Don’t let another day pass with something this important. And don’t be that guy who refuses to get legit marriage counseling and then after the divorce have to explain to his kids why. Call now to set up your first appointment.
