Couples Therapy

Relationships can be one of the most meaningful and fulfilling parts of life, but they can also be one of the most challenging. Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, or emotional distance. Conversations may quickly turn into arguments, one partner may withdraw while the other pursues, or both partners may feel unheard and disconnected.

Often these patterns are not simply communication problems. They are connected to deeper emotional needs for safety, understanding, and connection.

My couples work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-based approach that focuses on understanding the emotional and attachment patterns that shape how partners relate to one another.

In couples therapy we work to

In couples therapy we work to

Understand the deeper emotions and needs underneath conflict

Create a safer space for vulnerability and emotional expression

Strengthen communication and emotional responsiveness

Rebuild connection, trust, and closeness

Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, the goal is to help partners better understand each other’s emotional experience and begin responding to each other in ways that feel more supportive and secure.

Over time, many couples find that therapy helps them move from conflict and disconnection toward greater understanding, empathy, and emotional closeness.
