The Path of Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship itself as the client. It offers a dedicated space to navigate the complexities of partnership, whether you are seeking to strengthen an existing bond or repair trust. From navigating chronic conflict to managing life transitions, therapy provides a grounded environment to explore and heal together.
Who Can Benefit?
Partners at every life stage—from premarital preparation and navigating new parenthood to the rediscovery of connection in long-term marriage—find value in this clinical process. My work helps couples move away from defensive patterns and towards emotional safety and lasting curiosity for one another.
{ Approach }
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is a globally recognized, research-backed roadmap for rebuilding emotional connection. Rooted in attachment theory, it helps partners identify the hidden "negative cycles" that keep them stuck in repetitive conflict or painful silence.
By fostering emotional safety and encouraging deeper vulnerability, EFT empowers you to move from distance to intimacy. It creates a secure haven where both partners feel truly seen, heard, and emotionally accessible, restoring the fundamental bond that defines a healthy relationship.
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy developed from over 40 years of research with thousands of couples. It provides a practical, assessment-driven roadmap for relationship health, starting with the Gottman Relationship Checkup—a detailed tool that allows us to identify your unique strengths and challenges. Our work focuses on providing relatable, research-backed tools to manage conflict, rebuild friendship, and create shared meaning, helping you move from gridlock to emotional safety.
Imago Relationship Therapy
Imago Relationship Therapy helps partners understand the unconscious dynamics that shape their choice of partner and the recurring conflicts within their relationship. By identifying how patterns from childhood influence current interactions, we create a safe space for empathic dialogue and emotional safety.
This approach allows you to move away from defensiveness and toward seeing one another with more curiosity and compassion. Instead of being stuck in repetitive power struggles, couples learn to use their differences as a path toward healing, growth, and a more profound sense of connection.
