COUPLES THERAPY IN SEATTLE
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Has your relationship lost its spark?
Maybe there’s been another big blow up and you’re tired of not feeling heard and understood by your partner, or perhaps so much has built up over time that there’s a constant level of tension between you that you don’t even know how to address. You may be struggling to communicate with each other, or simply don’t know how to move forward together. Perhaps you’re feeling hopeless, unsure that anything can be done to repair the damage.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every part of your life:
Struggling to stay focused and productive at work
Decreased interest or pleasure in social environments or hobbies
Feeling constantly overwhelmed with little patience for the family
Never feeling at peace and having a difficult time relaxing
Your relationship can thrive through every season.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy can help you break negative patterns and create new ways of connection.
It may feel impossible now, but you can feel safe and supported in your marriage. You can heal from the hurt and move forward together as a team. You can feel deeply connected and in love again. And I can help you get there.
I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to couples therapy comes from a place of curiosity and compassion: believing that neither you nor your partner are the “problem,” but that it’s the cycle you’re in that needs to be changed.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy can help you:
uncover patterns that are keeping you and your partner stuck
deepen your awareness of yourself and of each other
increase your capacity to feel and express emotion, so that you can communicate clearly
create new patterns of connection that last long-term
get your spark back and move forward more connected and in love

Sessions are focused on uncovering the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Through understanding how you each contribute to the negative pattern, we can begin to repair the hurt and create new patterns of connection.

As short or as long as you’d like to be. Emotionally Focused Therapy is designed to be more of a short-term approach although I can’t put a time frame on how long it may take to reach your goals, it’s different for every couple. But it is important that you are noticing changes along the way and if you’re not, we will take a compassionate and closer look at what might be getting in the way.

If not, no problem. I’ll refer you to another talented therapist in my network who can help.
2) I’ll email you both a link to your Client Portal where you can sign the intake paperwork before your first session.
3) A few minutes before the start of your session, simply click the link in your reminder email or through your Client Portal. It will ask you to "check in" with your name and to enable video and microphone access. I will greet you shortly after.
