Do you find yourselves stuck in the same painful cycle, no matter how hard you try to communicate differently?

Perhaps one of you reaches for more connection while the other becomes overwhelmed, shuts down, or needs space. Over time, these patterns can leave both partners feeling lonely, misunderstood, and exhausted.

I specialize in helping couples understand and transform anxious–avoidant relationship patterns. These dynamics often show up as chronic conflict, emotional disconnection, recurring arguments, difficulty regulating during disagreements, or a persistent sense that one partner is pursuing while the other is withdrawing. They can also contribute to betrayal, broken trust, and attachment injuries that leave couples feeling unsafe with one another.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we work to slow these cycles down and understand what is happening beneath the conflict.As these patterns become clearer, partners are often able to respond to one another with greater understanding, empathy, and care.

Many couples come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of their interactions—caught in cycles of criticism, defensiveness, withdrawal, resentment, or hopelessness. Others are trying to recover from infidelity, betrayal, or significant relationship ruptures and are unsure whether trust can be rebuilt.

My role is not to determine who is right or wrong, but to help both partners understand the cycle affecting their relationship and create new ways of reaching for and responding to one another.

Over time, couples often find that conflict becomes less threatening, difficult conversations become more manageable, and emotional connection feels more accessible. Together, we work toward greater safety, trust, and intimacy.
