Relationship Distress is Predictable and Resolvable.
I provide effective Couples Therapy in Durham, NC

The most recent research on romantic relationships show common and predictable patterns of disconnection and repair, and research from John Gottman's longitudinal studies and on the proven Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) change process gives us a proven and reliable map for couple therapy and marriage counseling.

​Whether a relationship is fresh or seasoned, adjusting to life and family changes, or reeling from a betrayal such as an affair or addictions, these patterns of distress and disconnection are clear and consistent.  More importantly, subsequent repair and reconnection are just as clear and consistent, and so is the evidence of what makes a positive impact in couples counseling / marriage counseling. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy Practitioner and Supervisor, I know what makes a difference, and my training and experience will allow me to effectively help you.

Emotionally Focused Therapy Works!

Trusting, open and responsive relationships are essential to maintaining a love that lasts, rekindling lost desire, or rebuilding damaged relationships. All humans strive to feel secure belonging with our loved ones, as well as being free to be in control of and competent about the choices we make. I help people come to know how negative patterns take over their relationships and emotional lives, how to get back in touch with the needs of themselves and their partners, and then reclaim their shelter in each other.

Relationship distress and recovery follow predictable patterns with understandable reasons. Imagine how you want your relationship or marriage to be.  How do you want to be talked to?  How do you want to be as a partner or spouse? 
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and training in other effective approaches, let me help you reclaim your relationship, and make it the marriage or partnership you've wanted it to be.
