Life partnerships undoubtedly kick up one’s own attachment history and wounds. However, when committed to, the growth and CONNECTION is extremely rewarding.

When we get stuck in old patterns or cycles, it’s important to look closely at them and shake things up. This can be difficult to do on your own. I am here to work with you through communication breakdown, conflict, and increasing vulnerability to allow for greater intimacy and connection.

My primary approach to couples work involves Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a research-proven approach that views disagreements between couples as a result of insecure attachments. Clients experience, accept, and transform negative emotions and patterns into positive emotions and bond-enhancing interactions. EFT is useful for couples caught in a never-ending battle with the same outcome every time where both parties feel distanced. One of EFT’s goals is to create a secure emotional bond between you and your partner. This is the feeling of comfort you get knowing that your partner is there for you, and that they care about your needs. Right now, that sense of security might be missing because your emotions dictate your actions instead of informing your decisions to encourage compassionate communication.
