In couples therapy, I integrate principles from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. Together, these approaches help couples understand both the emotional underpinnings of their conflicts and the concrete patterns that keep them stuck. We work to identify the negative cycles that drive disconnection, while also strengthening communication, emotional responsiveness, and mutual understanding. Rather than assigning blame, therapy focuses on helping each partner feel seen and supported, so the relationship can become a more secure, resilient, and connected place for both people.

· What we explore: Emotional patterns, attachment needs, recurring conflicts, and moments of rupture
· What we build: Greater understanding, trust, responsiveness, and more flexible ways of relating
· What it’s not: Taking sides, rehashing old arguments without direction, or assigning blame
