Couple's & Relationship Therapy
Relationship distress is the most common reason people seek therapy.
Relationships do not fall apart because partners do not care. They fall apart because hurts pile up, connection breaks down, emotional injuries go unaddressed for too long and the conflict becomes repetitive and unrepaired. Over time partners begin to feel more and more alone. If you feel stuck in the same arguments, feel emotionally and physically disconnected, navigate rocky terrain of ruptured trust, do not know what you even argue anymore as it comes seemingly out of nowhere, or unsure how to move forward, I can help.
​
Couples therapy is not about deciding who is right or wrong, it is a trap you'd be walking around in circles for forever. It’s about understanding what that keeps you stuck and what is fueling the conflict or the distance that is happening between you and learning how to reach for each other differently. You need a different experience. Logical understanding of the "why it feels bad" is not enough to create a change.
Whether you’re seeking to heal after betrayal, improve communication, or navigate conflict in a way that brings you closer rather than further apart, therapy provides a supportive space to explore.

An Emotionally Focused Approach
​
​
​
My work with couples is grounded in an attachment-based, emotionally focused approach. I have extensive, advanced training in evidenced-based, gold standard couple's therapy - Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). EFCT helps look beyond surface behaviors to understand the pains and needs driving conflict, shutdown, or disconnection
