Engagement is often filled with excitement, planning and a shared sense of anticipation about the future. Between venues, guest lists and timelines, many couples find themselves focused on the details of the wedding day. What can quietly get pushed aside, though, are the deeper conversations about marriage itself.

Most couples come into therapy thinking something is “wrong” with them. They’re not communicating well. They’re fighting about the same things. What many couples don’t realize is this: So much of what you experience in marriage is shaped by your attachment style.

Trauma touches more than the moments that hurt. It can change the way you move through your days, the way you relate to yourself and the way you experience joy. Many people describe feeling disconnected from things they used to love. Others say life feels muted, like the volume has been turned down on their emotions.

High-functioning depression can be difficult to recognize, especially when life looks fine on the outside. You may show up for work and manage responsibilities without missing a beat. Inside, though, it can feel like you’re holding everything together with an invisible thread.

Anxiety in women can show up as racing thoughts, irritability, fatigue, or the constant sense that something’s off. For many women, these feelings are deeply connected to hormonal shifts.

When anxiety feels like it’s running the show, even the most simple, necessary tasks can suddenly seem impossible. That feeling of being totally out of control or disconnected from your own body is an incredibly common experience, but your life doesn't have to look like that every day.

If you’ve ever tried to have a deep conversation with your child, you know that getting them to open up can take some time. Whether it’s a quick shrug when you ask how their day was or the famous “I don’t know” when you try to dig a little deeper, teens often guard their thoughts and emotions carefully.

Faith can feel strong and steady when life is going smoothly — when prayers seem answered, doors open and you can see where things are headed. But what about the seasons when things feel heavy? When anxiety or depression settle in, and God feels far away?
