Let’s be real—relationships are beautiful, complicated, and sometimes downright exhausting. Whether you’re feeling stuck in the same arguments, drifting apart, or just wanting to strengthen your connection, couples therapy is a space to figure things out together—without blame or picking sides.

We work with couples at all stages—new, long-term, unsure, committed, or somewhere in between—who are ready to grow, heal, and learn how to truly hear each other again. Therapy can help you slow down the cycle, understand what’s underneath the conflict, and learn how to show up with more intention (and less defensiveness).

Some of the things we often work on in couples therapy:

Communication (talking without spiraling, active listening)

Boundaries and expectations (where “we” meets “me”)

Attachment dynamics and emotional needs

Conflict patterns and repair work

Rebuilding connection after rupture, resentment, or big life transitions

We don’t promise magic fixes, but we do create a space where both of you can feel seen, understood, and supported. Our approach is grounded in Emotional Focused Therapy(EFT), attachment theory and practical communication skills—focused on building emotional safety, not pointing fingers.

Couples therapy isn’t just about “solving problems”—it’s about reshaping the relationship you have with each other. Whether you're trying to reconnect, recover, or realign, we’ll walk with you through the hard stuff and toward something more connected.

Why this kind of couples therapy works:
We use evidence-based methods like Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment-focused work—because real connection starts with emotional safety. These models help you:

Understand each other’s inner worlds and emotional needs (not just "the issue")

Learn to self-soothe and co-regulate instead of escalating or shutting down

Rebuild trust with structure, tools, and intention

Replace conflict cycles with patterns of closeness, accountability, and repair
