Relationships & Couples Therapy: The Courage to Connect
Moving from Conflict Loops to Secure Attachment
Relationships are the primary "systems" we inhabit, and when they are in distress, every other part of our lives—our work, our health, and our parenting—feels the impact. With over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move beyond the surface-level "who said what" to address the deeper attachment needs that drive your conflict.
Deconstructing the "Cycle"
Most couples find themselves stuck in a "negative dance" where one partner pursues and the other withdraws. We work together to identify:
The Pursuit-Withdraw Loop: Understanding how your partner's shut down might be a survival strategy for overwhelm, and how your "pushing" might be a desperate bid for connection.
Rejection Sensitivity & Attachment Trauma: Addressing how past wounds and childhood attachments "show up" in your current arguments.
The Impact of External Systems: Using Systems Theory to explore how social constructs of power, gender roles, and even spiritual expectations influence your dynamic.
A Specialized Clinical Framework
I offer a sophisticated, research-backed path to relational repair:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Considered the "gold standard" for couples, EFT helps you de-escalate conflict and create a "secure base" where you both feel seen, safe, and valued.
Discernment Counseling: For couples on the brink of divorce or separation who aren't sure if they want to repair or uncouple. I provide a structured, neutral space to gain clarity.
Intensive Repair for High-Conflict: Integrating EMDR to process individual traumas that are leaking into the relationship and fueling chronic volatility or burnout.
For the "Professional" Couple
I have a "special love" for working with healers, pastors, and therapists in relationship. I understand the unique burden of maintaining a "public image" of a healthy marriage while struggling in private. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" roles and focus on the raw, human work of loving one another.

Rachel J Fischer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It can be hard to manage feelings that come up towards your partner, and you may find yourself feeling alone and unable to talk to others about your concerns. You may notice that you are attracted to similar types of partners, or that you have similar feelings/behaviors in relationships. Using an insight-oriented ("psychodynamic") and relational approach to therapy, I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts/feelings/experiences, and to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so that you can embrace a more fulfilling life. Please note that I only meet one-on-one with individuals to talk about their relationship issues, and don't do couples therapy.

Couples argue about many things, and it's normal to have disagreements. What you do at those times will determine whether your relationship will survive. Learning how to communicate effectively, from a position of love and respect, is my main focus when working with couples.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Most couples don't come to therapy when things first start going wrong. They come after years of the same argument, after the distance has grown too wide to ignore, after something broke and they're not sure it can be repaired. Wherever you are in that story, it's not too late to do something different.
As a Gottman Method certified therapist, I bring one of the most extensively researched approaches to couples work available. The Gottman Method isn't about talking in circles — it's about understanding the specific patterns that are eroding your relationship and replacing them with something that actually works. After more than 20 years of working with couples, I've seen what gets people stuck and what helps them find their way back to each other.
I work with couples navigating communication breakdown, emotional disconnection, rebuilding trust after betrayal, and the quiet drift that turns partners into strangers. I also offer premarital counseling for couples who want to build a strong foundation before they say yes.
Marriage is hard. But a struggling marriage isn't a failed one — it's one that needs skilled, intentional support. If you're both willing to show up, there's a lot that's possible.
Faith can be woven into our work for couples who want that. Telehealth sessions make it easy to attend together from home, on a schedule that fits your lives.
