Communicate and connect
Couples Therapy
Sound like you?
There is nothing more heartbreaking than when your partner starts to feel like a stranger. You aren’t sure what to do, where to turn to. You don’t want to give up, and you want to feel understood and deeply in love again.
In your uncertainty, you keep asking your partner in different ways (spoken or unspoken)
“Are you there for me?”
“Can I count on you?”
You’re allowed to slow down and speak up for what you need.
I’m here for you.
It All Comes out Wrong
Because these questions have been percolating inside you, the only thing that comes out of your mouth is blame, criticism, or loud silence. This leaves your partner feeling that they’ve failed (once again), and they either attack back or freeze up and move away. Then both of you feel miserable and hopeless, stuck in this so familiar and never-ending vicious cycle.
You have been trying to resolve your marriage issues for years.
You spoke with trusted family and friends. Maybe you’ve even tried couples therapy before. You know that you both deeply love each other, and it’s beyond frustrating to be stuck in this place feeling hopeless, alone, and sad.

I provide Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) because I know it is what works!
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the #1 research-validated relationship therapy and the ONLY couple therapy recommended by the American Psychological Association to help improve relationships. EFT revolutionized marriage counseling and research shows that 70 to 75 percent of couples who go through EFT recover from distress and are happy in their relationships.
Did you hear that? This is hopeful news, and it means that you, too, can find a way back to each other. And I will show you how to connect using the gold standard approach to marriage counseling.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Create safety, and work towards a secure bond with each other where you both feel deeply accepted and loved by each other
We are going to dive deep and look at what is really fueling your disconnection. I take a balanced approach, and you will both feel fully supported in developing the kind of relationship you deeply desire. We don’t play the blame game here. No secrets.. We are going to dive in weekly for about a year. Wait.. a year, is that a joke? It’s not. It will take us about a year to rewire your nervous system and your brain patterns for the kind of relationship you’ve been longing for.
You will be either sitting in the same place (disconnected and alone) a year from now or feeling grateful that you pursued healing and feeling greatful, and gooey.

Frequently asked questions —
-
Many approaches to couples therapy focus on communication skills or problem-solving. EFT goes deeper by uncovering the emotional patterns beneath the conflict. When partners can understand and respond to each other’s core emotions, they naturally improve communication and reduce conflict. The goal is lasting change in how you experience each other, not just temporary fixes.
If you’d like to learn more about EFT, you can visit the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).
-
Sessions are collaborative conversations where both partners have space to share. I guide you to slow down recurring arguments, explore what’s really happening emotionally, and practice new ways of reaching for each other. Over time, you’ll feel more understood, more connected, and better able to handle challenges together.
-
Every couple is unique, but EFT is considered a short-term model, often lasting between 12–20 sessions and up to one to one and a half years is standard to work through all the stages.
For complex cases these couples may be in therapy for a number of years working on healing.
We’ll move at the pace that feels right for you.

No. Couples therapy can strengthen a good relationship, help with big life transitions, or improve communication before problems escalate. Many couples use therapy as a way to invest in their relationship, not just repair it.
