Relationship Therapy That Addresses What’s Really Happening

Most couples in conflict don’t have a communication problem — they have an emotional disconnection problem. The same arguments, the distance that grows between you, the feeling that you’re roommates rather than partners — these are symptoms of something deeper that couples therapy can address.

Our couples therapists draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method principles — two of the most researched approaches to relationship work. We go beneath the surface arguments to the attachment patterns and emotional needs driving the cycle, and help you build new patterns of genuine connection.

  • EFT and Gottman-informed couples therapy
  • Communication and conflict resolution
  • Trust rebuilding after betrayal or infidelity
  • LGBTQ+ affirming — all relationship configurations welcome
  • Both partners attend via telehealth — same location or separate

Our Approach

Evidence-Based Couples Therapy Approaches

Most Researched

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT targets the negative cycle keeping you disconnected — helping partners understand the emotions beneath surface conflict and build secure, lasting connection.

Evidence-Based

Gottman Method

Addresses the specific patterns that predict relationship breakdown — criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling — and builds the friendship and shared meaning that sustain relationships.

Our Specialty

Trauma-Informed Couples Work

When individual trauma affects relationship dynamics, a trauma-informed approach is essential. We address how each partner’s history shows up in the relationship.

Flexible

Telehealth Couples Therapy

Partners can attend from the same location or separately — often making sessions more accessible and reducing friction around scheduling.
