Many couples come to therapy after reaching a point where the ways they've been trying to solve their problems no longer work. Conversations quickly escalate or end in silence. One or both partners feel alone, emotionally exhausted, or unsure whether the relationship can recover.

Perhaps one of you reaches for reassurance while the other becomes overwhelmed or pulls away. Or maybe you've found yourselves caught in escalating conflict, walking on eggshells around difficult conversations, or struggling to find your way forward after betrayal or another significant rupture. Over time, these patterns can leave both partners feeling unsafe, disconnected, and increasingly hopeless, even when there is still love and a genuine desire to repair.

My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment theory. Together, we slow these moments down to better understand what is happening beneath the conflict—exploring the emotions, needs, and protective strategies that keep each partner feeling stuck. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, we work to understand the cycle that has taken hold of the relationship.

Many of the couples I work with are navigating chronic conflict, emotional disconnection, betrayal, or significant relationship ruptures. Others are struggling with recurring pursue-withdraw patterns, difficulty regulating during conflict, or feeling unsure how to reconnect after trust has been damaged.

As partners begin to understand both themselves and each other more deeply, new possibilities often emerge. Conversations become less reactive, conflict feels more manageable, and emotional connection becomes easier to access. Over time, the relationship can begin to feel like a place of greater safety, trust, and security.
