Couples Therapy: Reconnect, Repair, and Grow
Many of us long for deeper connection and understanding in our relationships, but conflicts and disconnection can create challenges. As a trained therapist in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), the Gottman Method, and the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), I offer a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen their bond.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) EFCT is a proven, attachment-based approach that helps couples identify and shift negative communication patterns. By learning to understand and respond to each other’s emotional needs, couples can build a safe, supportive, and loving connection. This therapy fosters emotional security, which is essential for meaningful communication and resolving conflicts.
The Gottman Method Using the Sound Relationship House Theory, the Gottman Method helps couples strengthen friendship, improve conflict management, and create shared meaning in their relationship. Through this method, couples develop healthier ways of resolving conflict and deepen intimacy, creating a stronger foundation for lasting love and respect.
The Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) PACT combines neuroscience and attachment theory to help couples manage emotional responses in real-time. It emphasizes creating a secure “couple bubble,” improving stress management, and understanding the impact of early attachment experiences. By addressing both physiological responses and emotional needs, PACT helps couples develop healthier, more secure attachments.
By integrating these approaches, I work with couples to overcome challenges, improve communication, and cultivate a more fulfilling relationship. Whether you’re facing conflict, emotional distance, or just want to deepen your connection, therapy can help you create lasting change.
