Couples Issues
Building Together
EFT
Emotion Focused Therapy
Couples often get stuck in a cycle: one partner pursues, the other withdraws, and both feel unheard. EFT helps you slow the cycle down, understand the deeper emotions underneath the conflict, and create safer ways to reach for each other. The goal is a stronger emotional bond, more security, and fewer “same fight, different day” arguments.
Gottmann Method
Learning to Communicate
The Gottman Method focuses on practical relationship skills that predict long-term success. You’ll learn tools for conflict management, repair attempts, and respectful communication—especially during hard conversations. We also strengthen friendship and connection through daily habits that build trust, reduce resentment, and increase warmth.
Emotional and Physical Intimacy
Building the Bond
Intimacy struggles are common and fixable—and they often reflect stress, disconnection, resentment, or unspoken needs. We help couples rebuild closeness by improving emotional safety, increasing affection, and having more honest conversations about touch, sex, and desire without shame or pressure. The goal is intimacy that feels mutual, supportive, and sustainable.
Working Toward the Needs of the Couple
Navigating Life Together
Relationships work best when you feel like a team. We’ll clarify shared goals, align around values, and improve how you handle decisions about parenting, finances, boundaries, and time. You’ll build a plan for navigating challenges together—so the relationship becomes a source of stability, not stress.
