What to Expect in Couples Therapy

Couples therapy offers a structured, supportive space to understand each other more deeply and rebuild connection where it has frayed. In our work together, you won’t simply learn “communication skills”—you’ll learn how to truly reach one another again.

My approach blends three evidence-based methods to guide meaningful, lasting change:

Imago Relationship Therapy
We explore the deeper roots of your patterns—how past experiences shape present reactions—so you can move from reactivity to understanding. Imago helps partners shift from blame to curiosity and empathy.

The Gottman Method
Using practical tools drawn from decades of research, we strengthen your friendship, reduce conflict triggers, and build new habits that support trust, repair, and shared meaning.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
You’ll learn to recognize the emotional cycles that keep you stuck and create new, more secure ways of reaching for each other. EFT helps partners feel safer, more attuned, and more connected.

Across our sessions, you can expect guided conversations, structured exercises, and gentle coaching to help you communicate more clearly, repair ruptures, and create a relationship that feels supportive, alive, and resilient.
