Do you feel lonely in your marriage?
Do you feel out of love with your partner?
Do you keep having the same arguments without finding a resolution?
Do you wonder if your relationship will ever feel fulfilling again?
Have you tried marriage counseling before but didn’t see lasting change?
When couples are distressed, they can get caught in painful cycles of communication that create emotional distance, frustration, and hopelessness. Over time, these patterns can leave partners feeling disconnected and unsure how to repair the bond they once shared.
Couples therapy offers a safe, supportive space to address these challenges together. In our work, you and your partner can:
My passion is helping couples create strong, loving, and meaningful connections. I work from an attachment-based perspective and have received—and continue to receive—extensive post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), widely regarded as the gold standard in couples therapy.
In our sessions, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where any issue can be discussed openly. Together, we’ll identify the core patterns keeping you stuck, create mutually agreed-upon goals, and work as a team against the negative cycles that undermine your relationship.
My goal is simple: to help couples turn toward each other, deepen intimacy, and create a resilient, loving relationship that can weather life’s challenges together.
If your spouse or partner is not ready to seek couples counseling, that doesn’t mean therapy isn’t a valuable option for you—or for your relationship. Individual sessions can provide a safe space to explore your own thoughts, feelings, and patterns within the relationship.
Through therapy, you can gain insight into the dynamics that contribute to conflict or disconnection and understand the role you play in these patterns. Even without your partner present, we can work together to identify strategies for breaking negative cycles, improving communication, and fostering emotional closeness.
You will learn tools to express your needs, desires, and boundaries in healthier ways, build self-awareness, and strengthen your emotional resilience. Over time, this can positively influence your relationship, creating the possibility of a stronger connection—even if your partner decides to join later.
Individual couples therapy is not just about “fixing” the relationship—it’s about helping you grow, understand yourself better, and create healthier interactions that support a more fulfilling, connected partnership.
