Couples Therapy

I work with couples who strive for a deeper and more meaningful relationship with each other. Whether you're navigating communication challenges, frequent conflict, or a sense of growing distance, I provide a supportive space to help you reconnect and strengthen your bond. My approach is grounded in proven methods that promote emotional closeness, mutual understanding, and lasting change.

While I offer compassion, warmth, and support, I’m also not afraid to be direct when needed. I will gently—but clearly—challenge patterns that are keeping you stuck. My role isn’t to be liked; it’s to help you move forward, deepen your connection, and build a relationship that feels secure, respectful, and resilient.

Below, you’ll find a dropdown menu highlighting the couples therapy modalities I draw from. Each approach offers a unique lens and set of tools to support your relationship—whether you're working to rebuild trust, strengthen emotional intimacy, or improve communication. Take a look to explore how these approaches can support your process as a couple:

  • Through the application of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), I assist couples in understanding and constructively articulating their emotions, fostering a deeper level of emotional closeness and connection. EFT is based on the premise that relational distress often stems from unmet emotional needs or insecure bonding patterns. In our work together, I help couples identify the negative cycles they get stuck in, uncover the vulnerable emotions underneath reactive behaviors, and reshape these patterns into secure, supportive interactions. By creating a safe space for each partner to express their inner experience, EFT allows couples to rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and strengthen their emotional bond.  

  • I use an Attachment-Based lens that recognizes the impact of early caregiver-child relationships and development related to emotional well-being, focusing on fostering secure and healthy attachments in current relationships. This approach is grounded in the understanding that our early attachment experiences shape how we seek closeness, respond to conflict, and express emotional needs in adult partnerships. In couples therapy, I help partners become aware of their own and each other’s attachment styles—whether anxious, avoidant, or secure—and how these patterns influence their interactions. Through this process, couples learn to move from reactive cycles of disconnection toward more attuned, emotionally responsive interactions.

  • I incorporate Imago Relationship Therapy, a powerful approach that helps couples uncover the unconscious dynamics that can cause conflict and distance. Imago Therapy focuses on creating a safe space for dialogue, where each partner feels heard, understood, and validated. Through guided conversations and structured exercises, couples learn how their early relational experiences shape their expectations and emotional reactions today. The goal is to transform conflict into opportunities for healing, growth, and deeper intimacy. Many couples find that Imago work fosters a new sense of connection, empathy, and a stronger emotional bond.

  • Utilizing parts of the Gottman Method, I support couples in recognizing harmful patterns and substituting them with positive communication and behaviors to establish a more solid foundation. We work on building emotional connection through activities like Love Maps and weekly rituals of connection, while also strengthening conflict management using tools such as the Four Horsemen antidotes and gentle start-up. These practical, research-based strategies help partners deepen friendship, improve communication, and create lasting trust and intimacy.
