Every couple faces struggles. These struggles may come from communication breakdowns, stress at work, parenting, health concerns, or past emotional wounds. Couples therapy sessions create a space where partners feel heard, respected, and understood.

• Handling mental health issues that impact relationships

• Supporting family dynamics and parenting challenges

Therapy Approaches We Use

Our therapy sessions are grounded in evidence-based practices. Each couple is unique, so treatment is tailored to fit specific needs.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT is a powerful tool for building stronger bonds. This method helps couples understand attachment needs and heal emotional wounds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT teaches coping skills and helps couples change negative thought patterns that harm emotional health.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT builds emotional resilience and teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and better communication skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps partners align their choices with personal values and create long-term relational health.

Gottman-Informed Tools & Mindfulness

We also integrate Gottman-based methods, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and parts work. These help couples resolve conflict and enhance both emotional and physical intimacy.
