My Approach to Couples Work
I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where both partners feel heard. My approach integrates multiple evidence-based frameworks tailored to your unique relationship.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples identify negative interaction cycles and build secure emotional bonds. It focuses on the attachment needs underlying conflict.
- Identify negative cycles
- Access underlying emotions
- Create new bonding interactions
Gottman Method
Based on decades of research, the Gottman Method provides practical tools for managing conflict, building friendship, and creating shared meaning.
- Build love maps and fondness
- Turn toward each other
- Manage conflict constructively
Attachment-Based Therapy
Understanding your attachment styles helps explain why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationship, and how to create healthier ones.
Communication Skills Training
Practical, structured exercises to improve how you listen, express needs, and navigate difficult conversations together.
