What Couples Therapy Is:

Couples therapy offers a space for partners who have been stuck

Who Couples Therapy Is For:

Couples therapy can be helpful for partners who:

• Feel stuck in the same conflict patterns that remain resolved

• Care deeply about one another but struggle to stay connected during conflict

• Feel caught in a cycle where one partner reaches for closeness while the other pulls away

• Feel unheard or misunderstood

• Notice growing emotional distance

• Are navigating challenges around trust, including infidelity

• Find themselves at a crossroads, struggling to navigate major life decisions together

My Approach to Couples Therapy:

My approach to couples therapy is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT-C), which helps partners understand the emotional needs, fears, and longings that exist beneath moments of conflict or distance. Often, when we feel irritated with a partner, there is a deeper attachment need underneath that isn’t yet spoken or even fully conscious. When we communicate only the surface-level irritation, our partner may become defensive or withdraw because they may feel criticized or misunderstood. By getting in touch with the emotional need underneath the frustration, we learn to communicate in ways that invite empathy and openness instead of shutdown. This process moves in both directions, as each partner has core emotional needs that shape how they reach for one another. Over time, this creates greater understanding and connection.
