All relationships experience ups and downs. Even the most loving partnerships can find themselves feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck in repeating patterns. Whether you're navigating communication challenges, emotional distance, or major life changes, therapy can be a powerful step toward healing and growth.
A Relational, Affirming Approach
In relationship therapy, we focus on the connection itself—nurturing understanding, building trust, and creating space for each person to be fully seen and valued. My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), The Gottman Method, and attachment theory, offering compassionate, research-based frameworks to help partners reconnect and grow together.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps partners identify and transform painful relational patterns while creating secure emotional bonds.
-
The Gottman Method provides practical, evidence-based tools to manage conflict, foster mutual respect, and strengthen friendship and intimacy.
-
Attachment-based work helps explore how early relational experiences shape current dynamics and supports the creation of a more secure, connected partnership.
This work is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trans-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and polyamory-affirming. I honor and welcome all relationship structures and expressions of love, including non-monogamous, polyamorous, and queer relationships. Your identities, values, and experiences are respected here, and therapy is tailored to reflect your unique connection(s).
