Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples
Working with couples through teletherapy in California & Idaho.
You may feel…
You’re stuck in unproductive patterns of relating to each other. It might be that you fight all the time, or there is so much distance between you that you barely speak to one another.
You long for a loving connection with your partner where you communicate respectfully and lovingly. You want to save your relationship, but you’re worried it may not be possible.
When you’ve struggled for a long time, you can feel hopeless that your relationship will ever improve. You’ve tried so hard already. Nothing has worked.
BUT, even the most troubled relationship can turn around if there’s a willingness to improve it. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I’m here to guide you toward the reconnection you’re seeking.
You’ll never know if you don’t try.
As a Certified EFCT clinician, I’m here to help you overcome the past and have the best relationship possible.
You feel:
-You argue all the time with your partner. You can't resolve our fights.
-You hardly speak to one another anymore. It's just too difficult.
-Your partner doesn't treat you well (e.g., doesn't listen to you, puts you down, etc.)
-There's been an affair. You can't get over it. You’re not sure it's even possible.
-Your sex life isn't working. You have mismatched desires.
-You have an open relationship that isn't working. Your partner is unhappy with it (or your partner doesn't keep to your agreements).
-You’re afraid you're heading towards a breakup or divorce.
With therapy, you can:
-Heal past wounds and resentments and forgive each other
-Communicate effectively with love and respect
-Increase affection and sexual intimacy
-Develop a deeper connection and a more secure bond
-Have more fun together
-Enjoy your life more now that your relationship is on track
-Reaffirm your commitment to one another, making it stronger than it was beforee
Why Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)?
I help couples transform their relationships using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). EFCT has extensive research supporting its ability to help couples overcome their problems and deepen their connection with one another.
Research on EFCT therapy shows that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery while 90% show significant improvement.
Using EFCT, I’ve helped highly conflicted couples overcome their problems and develop a strong, secure bond.
Many of these relationships were fraught with conflict, trauma, and even addiction.
I’ve also helped couples who were barely communicating and couples who lived like roommates instead of intimate partners.
With my training, compassion, and commitment, my goal is to help you overcome past troubles and have the best relationship possible.
