I practice an evidence based couples therapy called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This modality allows for both individuals in the relationship to explore and understand the patterns, dynamics, and perceptions in their relationship. Together the clinician and the couple work to slow down the cycle, name blocks and ways that they come alive, and how to not only navigate around them, but also notice them coming and eventually steer through them.

To begin with, I will meet with all individuals of the relationship for an initial 90 minute session during which the couple will share their relationship patterns with me. During this session, I will explore any number of things that one might see if they were a fly on the wall of your relationship. I will ask questions and explore the couple’s reported strengths, as well as growth areas.

The second and third sessions are individual 60 minute one on one’s with me so that I am given the chance to get to know you both not only as a couple, but as individuals as well.

After those two one hour sessions, we will resume meeting together in 75 minute blocks – exploring and slowing down the cycle between the couple to help them reconnect and work together as a functional and loving team.
