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.

Grow together, not apart. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Couple's Coaching emphasizes forward momentum and tangible change. This isn't a space to endlessly process in circles. This structure helps you take daily actions to transform the patterns you've inherited so your relationship gets better and better over time.
