Maybe you’re here because you’re feeling uncertain about how to make things better

When there is high conflict, betrayal, or disconnection and distance with your partner, it can be difficult for you to achieve the safety and security you both need in your relationship.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

  • High Conflict

  • Disconnection and distance

  • Difficulty Communicating

  • Pain of Betrayal

  • Emotional Roller Coaster

  • Considering Divorce

The distress can leave you feeling alone, overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, a method with the highest success rate of all couples therapy methods, to help you and your partner find your way back to one another.
