About Us

The Approach

We often come to counseling feeling stuck in the same arguments, emotionally distant, or unsure how to reconnect. My approach helps couples move beyond surface conflict and understand what is really happening beneath the tension.

We focus on emotional safety, attachment, and the patterns that keep couples disconnected. Rather than assigning blame, we slow things down and explore the emotions and needs driving each partner’s reactions. We use therapeutic approaches such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) to deepen our understanding of conflict and work towards building new relational patterns of connection and healing.

As partners begin to feel heard and understood, new conversations become possible. Couples learn how to respond to one another with greater clarity, empathy, and confidence, creating deeper connection and more secure relationships, healing broken trust after hurt and betrayal.

This work is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on meaningful change that carries into daily life.

Our Services

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is focused on deepening emotional intimacy and resolving conflicts. Our goal is to empower partners to understand each other better, strengthen trust, and improve connection, as well as resolve past hurt and betrayal.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling sessions are available to address personal challenges and support emotional growth. We believe this enhances the couple's therapy experience.
