Couples Therapy in the Bay Area, CA
Couples may seek therapy for various reasons, often due to communication challenges, unresolved conflicts, or emotional disconnection. Over time, stressors like life changes, parenting difficulties, or financial pressures can create distance and misunderstandings.
Therapy offers a safe space for couples to openly express their feelings and learn effective communication skills. It helps partners identify underlying issues, rekindle their emotional connection, and develop healthier ways to support each other.
Ultimately, couples therapy can be a valuable step toward improving relationship satisfaction and building a stronger foundation for the future.
In my work with couples, I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). This transformative approach is designed to help partners reconnect by understanding and expressing their emotions more effectively. I create a supportive environment where couples can explore their feelings, improve communication, and reconnect on a deeper level. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, allowing couples to feel safe as they face challenges together. Once this sense of safety is established, I guide couples in resolving conflicts and enhancing emotional intimacy. Join me on a journey to rebuild trust, deepen your connection, and create a loving, resilient partnership.

“Being the “best you can be” is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.”
