Couples Therapy in Seattle
You love each other—so why does it feel so hard?
Couples come to me for many reasons — including:
Having the same argument on repeat
One partner wanting closeness, the other needing space
Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected
Navigating major life transitions as a couple
Healing from individual pain that's affecting the relationship
Wanting to grow closer before things get worse
Recovering from a rough patch and building something stronger
What to Expect:
I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy — EFT — which is one of the most researched and evidence-backed approaches to couples therapy available. EFT is a structured, stage-based approach — which means our work together has a clear arc, even if the path isn't always linear. In the early sessions, we'll slow things down and start to map the conflict cycle that's been pulling you apart. From there, we work at a deeper level: the fears and longings that drive the cycle, and the moments where you reach for each other and miss. Over time, couples find that those moments of missing start to happen less. And when ruptures do occur, you'll know how to find each other again.
Ready to take the first step?
Reaching out is often the hardest part. If you've been on the fence — maybe wondering if things are too far gone, or not bad enough to warrant therapy — know that most couples wish they'd come in sooner.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get a sense of whether we're a good fit before committing to anything.
