COUPLES THERAPY
Conflict & disconnection aren’t failures—they’re patterns.
Maybe the same arguments keep repeating, trust has been strained, or outside pressures have made it harder to feel like you’re on the same team. When you keep ending up in the same painful places despite wanting things to be different, it can be hard to know what to do next.
Couples therapy can help you understand what keeps pulling you back there, explore what’s happening underneath, and build new ways of navigating conflict, repairing hurt, and connecting through difficult moments.
MY APPROACH TO COUPLES THERAPY
Grounded in decades of research, tailored to your relationship
01 — THE FOUNDATION
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)
My work is grounded in EFCT, one of the most established and extensively researched approaches to couples therapy. Rooted in attachment science, EFCT goes beyond surface issues and simply teaching you to communicate better. It helps us understand the patterns and deeper emotions shaping your relationship, then work directly with them toward meaningful and lasting change.
02 — THE INTEGRATION
Therapy That Fits Your Unique Relationship
Relationships are complex—shaped by each person’s experiences, identities, cultures, values, and circumstances. It matters deeply to me that there’s room for all of who you are, and that each person feels seen and understood. I stay flexible in my approach, drawing from other evidence-based methods and practical tools based on what you’re navigating and what matters to you.
