I work with couples in many stages of life, from long-term partnerships and newlyweds to couples who have been together for decades and feel unsure how to reconnect.
Couples Therapy for Every Stage of Relationship
Often, couples reach out and seek therapy because they are having communication problems that have been going on for a long time, and they feel stuck and unsure of how to make things better. You may be coming to couples therapy because:
Conversations escalate into painful arguments.
The same conflicts keep repeating without resolution.
One or both partners feel emotionally distant or shut down.
You love each other, but don’t know how to reconnect.
No matter where you are in your relationship, couples therapy can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and begin creating meaningful change.
When You’re Stuck in the Same Painful Patterns
If you’ve been having the same “blow-up” fights over and over again, you are likely stuck in a negative cycle. You are doing your best to make things better and nothing is working. This can feel discouraging, and you may be doing everything you can to make things better, yet nothing seems to work. You might say to yourself, “I’m just not going to get my needs met in this relationship,” or, “It is what it is, so I’m just going to stop trying”.
The fighting is so exhausting.
You may start to disconnect from your partner to protect yourself. But it’s so hard being disconnected from your partner. It’s so hard not feeling seen, heard, or understood by the person you love. It can be painfully lonely to be so disconnected.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a highly effective, research-backed approach to relationship therapy that is grounded in attachment science. EFT focuses on helping couples:
Identify the emotional patterns driving conflict or distance
Strengthen emotional safety and trust
Create a secure, lasting bond
This is different than traditional couples therapy where you might work on surface-level communication skills or tasks. EFT gets to the root, the insecurity in the relationship, and restructures it.
Once there is a secure bond, positive communication and interactions will naturally follow. Couples who have completed EFT treatment often report feeling more emotionally accessible, more responsive and engaged, and more secure and connected with one another. This depth of change supports short-term relief AND long-term health.
Is Couples Therapy Right for You?
Couples therapy may be a good fit if:
You feel disconnected, misunderstood, or emotionally distant.
Conflict feels repetitive or overwhelming.
You want to strengthen your relationship instead of just “fixing” fights.
You’re open to exploring emotions and attachment patterns together.
If this approach resonates, I would be honored to support you in creating the relationship you deserve.
