Couples Therapy/EFT

As humans, almost everything in our lives revolves around our relationships with other people. The relationship you have with your spouse or significant other is undoubtedly the most important relationship you have, and yet, it’s often the one that you struggle with the most. Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or substance abuse, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Communicating on a deeper level can effectively help both parts to discuss emotions and difficult thoughts.

In relationships, couples often complain that they just don’t feel as though they’re being heard or understood. They may be mis-communicating what they really want to say, or they may just not understand the right ways to convey what they’re thinking to their partners. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on negative communication patterns and adult attachment. Couples often seek counseling when the relationship is at a standstill, or if they are unsure whether or not the relationship is worth salvaging, however, they can also proactively seek help. It’s possible to address the root issues that are causing the strife in your marriage or relationship and get healing.

When a relationship is showing signs of addiction, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or severe depression, seek guidance from a counselor immediately, for your safety and your partner.
