I completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EFT can benefit couples who are struggling with conflict, distress, and poor communication and help improve emotion related problems and build connection. It can also help family members form more secure bonds with one another. EFT has also proven to be a powerful approach for couples dealing with infidelity or other more traumatic incidents, both recent and past and relies on the significance of secure attachment.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Most couples come to therapy having the same fight on repeat without understanding what the fight is actually about. At Simple Empathy we get underneath the conflict to the attachment needs, the unspoken expectations and the relational patterns that are driving the dynamic. Using Gottman Method, EFT and Collaborative Language approaches, we help couples stop being adversaries and start being partners again — or make clear-eyed decisions about what comes next. Five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist. This is the work I was built for.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with couples using Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). IBCT focuses on the real pattern a couple gets stuck in, not just surface-level communication tips, and builds both understanding and concrete change around it. I work with couples navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, infidelity, and major life decisions together.

Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
The relationship we share with our partner is one of the most significant and transformative connections in our lives. I’ve had the privilege of helping countless couples navigate the complexities of their relationships. With years of experience in diverse clinical settings, including private practice and hospital environments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges couples face and the strategies needed to overcome them.
Whether addressing communication barriers, emotional disconnect, or breaches of trust, I use evidence-based approaches to guide partners toward greater understanding and connection. I specialize in creating a supportive space where couples can rebuild trust, foster intimacy, and develop the tools to thrive together.
Through my work, I’ve witnessed how couples therapy can transform relationships—helping partners heal, grow closer, and create a fulfilling and resilient bond. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face, allowing your relationship to flourish in new and meaningful ways.
