At EmpathiShift, we specialize in providing “relationship oversight” for couples looking to create immediate and lasting change within their lives and relationship. Our approach moves beyond traditional counseling; we focus on self-awareness, emotional accountability, deep relationship repair and recovery. Our core method is called "Scaffolding." Just as scaffolding supports a building under repair, our process provides structure needed to stabilize your relationship and your emotional well-being. Through ongoing guidance and support, we help you identify and break harmful patterns rebuild trust, and grow from a solid foundation.
What Our Clients Desire: Our clients often ask for a “quick fix” and a renewed sense of trust, stability, and understanding. Whether you’re looking for a quick turnaround or deep, long-term growth, We tailor our services to meet your needs. we believe love is more than just a feeling—it’s something we cultivate and act on. Let us help you.
Our philosophy is grounded in one simple truth: “Empathy” is at the heart of all relationships and what we are here to do. Through empathy, we understand, connect, and grow—not just with others, but also with ourselves—and for us, it’s more than understanding someone’s feelings—it’s about actively engaging in emotional awareness, accountability and healing.

During intake, I often use Acceptance and Commitment, Schema Therapy, and forms of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I use a diagnostic tool to build the therapeutic relationship by gathering information that informs of the automatic thoughts, feelings, and avoidance behaviors at play. I'll evaluate and help you work towards developing "behavioral flexibility" and cultivate deep, meaningful connections.
