Couples Therapy

Relationships can be especially challenging during life transitions such as sharing a living space, becoming parents or struggling with intimacy., The  love and happiness that was at one point present in the relationship can feel like a distant memory when betrayal, disagreement and a lack of understanding invades the communication between partners in conflict.

Couples therapy focuses on developing a safe therapeutic space for partners to work on improving their own understanding of their partner’s feelings and needs while learning how to stop a potential volatile conflict by recognizing trigger spots and practicing de-escalation skills. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples helps partners improve communication and rebuild trust. This evidence-based couples treatment increases attachment and helps build lasting relationship change.
