​​You’re Stuck in the Same Painful Patterns—And It Hurts
​You didn’t expect your relationship to feel like this—distant, tense, and full of painful misunderstandings.
Now, it feels like you’re stuck in the same arguments, over and over again.​​
​
Whether you're facing constant conflict, a loss of intimacy, betrayal, or the weight of a major life change, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
​
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) helps partners move beyond disconnection and conflict—toward understanding, healing, and deep emotional closeness.
It Hurts Because it Matters
You're not broken—you're stuck in a cycle that can be changed.
​
When love feels distant, every argument, silence, or misunderstanding cuts deep.
​
Couples therapy with me helps you and your partner move from disconnection to understanding—so you can feel close, safe, and seen again.
It’s not about placing blame. It’s about learning to see each other clearly again—and responding in ways that feel safe, loving, and real.
