Couples Counseling & Therapy

Couples therapy is a safe space for you and your partner to navigate challenges, improve communication, and strengthen your emotional bond. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

As an LMFTA in Washington, I have clinical experience and training with a wide range of modalities to provide you support and resources in therapy— including Gottman Method (Level 2), externship-level Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Prepare/Enrich, and TF-CBT certification.

Integrative couples therapy also draws from a combination of evidence-based person-centered therapies & elements of CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Play/Art/Music therapy, and mindfulness— all of which can be tailored to an experiential style treatment while being trauma-informed.

Sessions are guided by training in Level-Two Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and externship-level Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

  • The Gottman Method, backed by 30+ years of research, you will learn practical, evidence-based skills to manage conflict, deepen your friendship, create shared meaning, and reignite intimacy.

  • Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Sue Johnson & with a focus on attachment theory, we will work to identify and break the negative cycles that cause disconnection. EFT helps you to understand your partner’s emotional needs, as well as your own, and create a more secure, loving bond. The goal is to build a healthier, more resilient relationship that fosters deeper connection and lasting change.

Growth. Starts. Here.
