Couples Counseling

50 min session — $220. Gottman, EFT, and Imago-informed work for partners ready to break negative cycles and reconnect.

Are you and your partner struggling to connect? Feeling distant, misunderstood, or stuck in negative cycles? Do you get into frequent arguments? Does one or both partners feel criticized, defensive or shut out? Perhaps you are parents and struggle with different parenting styles.

I can help.

Together, we will explore:

  • Underlying emotions driving conflict (fear, hurt, anger)
  • Attachment styles and how they impact your interactions
  • Healthy ways to express your needs and desires
  • Building a secure emotional bond
  • The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Gottman Method): Criticism, Defensiveness, Stonewalling, and Contempt

You’ll learn to:

  • Communicate more effectively and listen with empathy
  • Identify and address negative patterns
  • Strengthen emotional connection and intimacy

Our therapy will be informed by the following methods:

  • The Gottman Method
  • EFT — Emotionally Focused Therapy
  • Imago Relationship Therapy

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you. William Arthur Ward
