Couples Therapy

Are you longing for a safe, secure connection with your partner?
Do you find yourselves struggling with the same problems over and over again?
Do you wish you could communicate more openly and reconnect in a way that feels close, supportive, and meaningful?

Relationships can be our greatest source of happiness in life; a place where we feel loved, seen, and understood. Or, when they’re not going so well, they can be our biggest source of sadness, frustration and even loneliness.

Couples therapy offers a space where we can slow things down together and begin to understand what’s happening beneath the surface—so you can move toward a more secure, connected, and supportive relationship.

You Might Be in the Right Place If…

  • You feel stuck in repeating conflict or communication patterns that never seem to fully resolve

  • You and your partner feel disconnected, distant, or misunderstood

  • You’re navigating broken trust, betrayal, or infidelity

  • You struggle to express your needs or feel truly heard and understood

  • You find yourselves caught in cycles of pursuing and withdrawing, or reacting in ways you don’t fully understand

  • You feel lonely or disconnected, even when you’re together

  • You keep having the same arguments over and over without resolution, and feel unsure how to repair after conflict

  • You or your partner tend to shut down, withdraw, or become reactive during difficult moments

  • You sense that past experiences or unresolved pain may be affecting your relationship, even if you’re not sure how

  • You want to feel more emotionally safe, secure, and connected in your relationship

My Approach

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that helps couples understand and change the patterns that keep them feeling disconnected.

In many relationships, when connection feels uncertain or threatened, we naturally move into protective responses—like withdrawing, shutting down, or becoming reactive. These responses can create cycles that leave both partners feeling hurt, unseen, and alone.

Together, we’ll gently identify and understand these patterns, so you can begin to respond to each other in new ways that create greater emotional safety and connection.

My approach is:

  • Attachment-focused

  • Trauma-informed

  • Experiential and relational

  • Grounded in a holistic understanding of your emotional and relational experience

New beginnings start with knowing how we create the trap that we are caught in, how we have deprived ourselves of the love we need. Strong bonds grow from resolving to halt the cycles of disconnection, the dances of distress.

What Working Together Looks Like…

In our sessions, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for both of you.

We’ll slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and gently identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck—so you can begin to communicate, connect, and respond to each other in new ways.

This is a collaborative process where both partners are supported, understood, and guided toward a more secure and connected relationship.

  • Identify and understand your negative cycle and the emotions underneath it—so you can step out of repeating patterns that keep you feeling stuck

  • Learn to communicate your needs more openly and clearly, while feeling heard and understood by one another

  • Develop greater emotional awareness and responsiveness, especially in moments of conflict, disconnection, or misunderstanding

  • Rebuild trust, safety, and connection, including after experiences like betrayal or infidelity

  • Recognize and shift patterns of pursuing and withdrawing, as well as moments of shutdown, withdrawal, or reactivity
