couples therapy

who it’s for

I welcome ALL types of partnerships, with the only requirement being that all parties have some investment in the process of developing a healthier dynamic and are willing to engage meaningfully in the process. Partnerships can be healing and fulfilling but are never without complications. In this moment you may be feeling hurt, disconnected, or stuck. That’s okay. You may even be fearful of what therapy could mean for your relationship. That’s okay too. The very fact that you’re willing to take this step is a healthy sign. It is most often the conversations we don’t have that create the chasm between us.

how it works

I use an Emotionally Focused Therapy, (EFT), model in working with couples. EFT is an evidence-based collaborative approach to working with couples that embodies attachment theory and honors the neuroscience implications of secure attachment. Our brains and bodies receive messages about safety based on our relational interactions with our partners. Together we can reflect on the present cycle and explore how to create a different way of relating to one another that allows both partners to feel seen and understood as their authentic selves. Much of our time is spent engaging in personal responsibility and self-awareness work, attachment patterns, effective communication methods, and the deep exploration of the healthy and wounded masculine and feminine energetics at play within each person.
