You still love each other, but something has shifted. The same arguments keep cycling, the distance keeps growing, or trust has been broken in ways that feel impossible to repair. You are exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if things can actually change. As a Certified EFT Couples Therapist, I help couples uncover the deeper fears and attachment needs driving their cycle and build the safety needed for real repair, genuine closeness, and lasting change. You do not have to keep repeating the same pattern. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you.
I specialize in couples therapy, affair recovery, premarital counseling, and couples intensives, all grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy. I help partners break painful cycles, heal attachment wounds, and rebuild trust and intimacy. For couples ready for deeper, more concentrated work, I offer intensives designed to create meaningful shifts in less time.
I never cease to be humbled by the courage it takes to reach out, and by the resilience couples carry even in their most painful seasons. If you are here, something in you believes things can be different. That matters. It would be a profound honor to walk alongside you and your spouse as you find your way back to each other.

I help couples break painful cycles of conflict, emotional distance, and betrayal. Treatment typically involves identifying your negative cycle, uncovering the deeper fears and attachment needs driving it, and rebuilding emotional safety and trust. Through EFT, couples can expect deeper understanding of each other, stronger communication, renewed intimacy, and a more secure and lasting bond.

My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an attachment-based approach that helps couples identify and shift the emotional patterns driving their conflict. I weave in trauma-informed care for couples carrying deeper wounds. Sessions feel collaborative, safe, and unhurried. You will leave with greater clarity, stronger emotional connection, and practical tools for lasting change.
