Couples Therapy
Communication is the vital bridge to connection, yet that bridge can become strained by repetitive cycles of conflict or a growing sense of distance.
I work with couples to repair and strengthen their bond by integrating Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) principles, both grounded in the universal need for secure connection. Together, we move beneath the surface of everyday arguments to better understand the underlying emotional needs and protective patterns shaping your interactions.
By staying deeply rooted in the present moment, we work to transform moments of vulnerability into a more resilient, dependable connection. Whether you are navigating the high-stakes pressure of a major life transition or seeking to reclaim a sense of intimacy that has felt out of reach, our work creates a "safe harbor" to slow down and truly hear one another. This "here and now" focus allows you to move beyond circular debates and into a collaborative practice of presence—turning your relationship into a source of shared progress and lasting stability.
What To Expect
1. Shared Intake
Our work begins with a joint intake session, a dedicated space where we clarify your goals and begin to understand the patterns shaping your relationship. This first step creates a grounded, collaborative foundation for the work ahead.
2. Individual Context
Following this initial meeting, we transition into a phase of individual context, consisting of two private sessions—one for each partner—to gain a comprehensive, 360-degree view of the relationship’s history and your unique perspectives.
3. Ongoing Couples Work
Once this foundation is established, we move into the phase of joint progress. These consistent couples sessions are the heart of our work, focusing deeply on your specific areas of healing and change. By staying rooted in the present moment and utilizing attachment-informed tools, we transform moments of clarity into a sustainable practice of presence, allowing you to move forward with a more secure and resilient bond.
