Talking about difficult subjects or addressing relationship trauma with your partner is never simple, yet it is an essential part of creating a healthier and more fulfilling connection. In our work together, I take an active and intentional role in guiding the conversation so that both partners feel grounded, heard, and supported. This is not an unstructured environment where couples rehash conflicts and leave feeling frustrated or defeated. Instead, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy provides a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the emotional bond at the heart of your relationship. Together, we examine the patterns that repeatedly lead to disconnection, explore the deeper emotions driving those patterns, and practice new, more effective ways of responding to one another. Over time—and with consistent practice—these new ways of interacting begin to feel natural, transforming the day-to-day dynamic of your relationship.

If you are preparing for marriage, planning can often highlight the joyful aspects of your relationship—cake tastings, parties, and meaningful rituals—but beneath those festivities lies the importance of building a foundation that can sustain you for decades. Intentionally exploring how you communicate, handle conflict, and envision your future together is a way to give your relationship a great start after the “I Dos” are said. As we work together you and your partner will be able to clarify expectations, articulate shared goals, and learn strategies for staying emotionally connected even during challenging moments. This process creates not only a sense of safety and trust, but also the courage to take emotional risks, grow together, and approach your marriage as a unified team with a strong, resilient bond.
