Couples & Marriage Counseling

Rebuilding connection and strengthening your relationship bond

Whether you're seeking couples counseling or marriage therapy, I work with partners who come in with a wide variety of relationship concerns. Using the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I will help you and your partner rekindle your relationship and nurture the bond between you.

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

EFT has extensive research supporting its efficacy. It is an attachment-based therapy that focuses on helping you restructure negative patterns in your relationship toward more understanding and patience.

Through EFT, you and your partner will be able to move through difficult conversations and topics that formerly would be triggering while maintaining a sense of closeness with one another. With a better understanding of yourselves and each other, the attachment bond between you tends to become stronger.

EFT will help you:

  • Understand their relationship patterns and cycles
  • Identify and express their underlying emotions and needs
  • Break free from negative interaction patterns
  • Create new, positive ways of connecting
  • Build trust and emotional safety
  • Develop secure attachment bonds

Common Relationship Concerns

I work with couples facing a variety of challenges:

Communication Problems

Struggling to express needs, feeling misunderstood, or having difficulty listening to each other.

Infidelity & Breach of Trust

Rebuilding trust after an affair or other breach of trust in the relationship.

Abandonment Concerns

Feeling abandoned, disconnected, or worried about your partner's availability.

Frequent Arguing

Getting stuck in cycles of conflict that seem to repeat without resolution.

Emotional Disconnection

Feeling distant from your partner, like you're living parallel lives, or missing the closeness you once had.

Emotional Expression

Struggling with too much or too little expression of emotion with one another.

Conflict Resolution

Finding better ways to move through conflict and disagreements.

Life Transitions

Navigating major life changes together, such as having children, career changes, or relocation.

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

In our first session, I'll meet with both partners together to understand your relationship history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. I'll ask questions about your relationship patterns, how you handle conflict, and what you hope to achieve.

Throughout our work together:

  • I'll help you identify and understand your relationship patterns
  • We'll explore the emotions underlying your interactions
  • I'll guide you in expressing your needs and feelings in new ways
  • We'll practice new ways of connecting and responding to each other
  • I'll help you apply what you learn in session to your daily life

My role is to create a safe space where both partners can express themselves honestly and work together toward a stronger, more connected relationship.
