 Couples Counseling 

Helping couples move beyond reactive cycles and into clarity and true connection

When a relationship is in distress, it's often not because our partners don't care, but because something deeper is in the way. Old wounds, unresolved trauma, and reactive patterns can quietly shape how we respond to each other even when we are trying our best. My approach draws from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), one of the most trusted and research-supported approaches for couples, to help couples move out of reactive cycles and into deeper connection. Rooted in attachment science, EFCT focuses on the emotions and patterns that keep partners stuck. Together we identify what's beneath the conflict, build emotional safely, and create space for new ways of relating.  I offer 55 minute and 90 minute sessions as well as focused Couples Intensives. Couples Intensives offer the possibility of an integration of Couples EMDR to allow for both individual healing and relational repair within the same space.
