a shared vision for the future
Couples Therapy
Life comes with many challenges, but when we have each other’s back and show up for one another, we can face it together.
Approaches
As a therapist I’m always learning to make sure I’m showing up for you in the best way that I can, as well as not go stagnant or stay in the past. With that said, I rely on 3 top approaches when it comes to Couples Therapy.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples create lasting emotional bonds by addressing the deeper needs beneath conflict. Instead of focusing only on surface arguments, it explores the emotional patterns that drive disconnection. A key element is learning how to turn moments of distance into moments of safety and closeness. Couples build trust and security, not just better communication. This approach helps partners express their most vulnerable emotions in ways that foster empathy, repair, and deeper connection.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Developed from decades of research, the Gottman Method focuses on building strong relationship foundations through trust, emotional attunement, and effective conflict resolution. Couples also learn to recognize and replace the “Four Horsemen” of relationship distress, and strengthen their bond through emotional bids — turning toward each other rather than turning away or against. Its signature “Love Maps” and “Sound Relationship House” model help couples deepen friendship, manage differences, and nurture lasting connection.
PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy)
PACT integrates attachment theory, neuroscience, and the nervous system’s role in relationships. It focuses on real-time interactions, helping partners co-regulate and stay emotionally safe during conflict. Its signature approach is secure functioning: learning to act as allies, so both partners feel protected, valued, and deeply connected.
