A Tailored Therapy Approach

Couples Therapy

  • In relationship therapy, I strive to provide a warm environment where all parties feel seen, heard, and respected. I take an active and directive approach, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide the majority of my work. I have also completed Gottman Level II Training and use Gottman research and resources as needed throughout treatment.

  • I have particular interest and experience helping couples navigate the following issues:

    • Lack of intimacy

    • Communication breakdowns

    • Anxiety/stress

    • Recovering from infidelity

    • Grief

    • Relationships where one or both partners struggle with ADHD/Executive Functioning challenges

    • History of trauma

  • I see all types of couples in therapy, including dating, premarital, and married partners.

    Couples therapy is designed to help couples deepen their relationship and resolve conflicts. I serve as a guide, helping clients to identify areas of tension, communication breakdowns, and patterns of behavior that may be causing distress. I then provide tools, strategies, and insights to address these issues effectively.

Why Couples Therapy?

  • Emotionally-focused couples therapy (EFCT) significantly improves marital satisfaction, and this effect is sustained after the end of treatment (Beasley and Ager, 2019)

  • EFCT is shown to significantly reduce individual symptoms of depression and anxiety (Reinitz, 2018)

  • Compassionate couples therapy can reduce attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and increase emotional intimacy (Derikvandi and Asl, 2023)

What does this mean? Couples Therapy is not only good for the relationship bond, but also reduces individual symptoms of anxiety and depression.
