This session offers a safe, supportive environment for couples to explore and address relationship challenges. Whether you’re navigating communication issues, intimacy concerns, trust, or conflict resolution, therapy can help rebuild connection and understanding. Using evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, and other modalities, we work together to strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and create healthier patterns. Couples therapy is for partners in any stage of their relationship – from those looking to deepen their bond to those seeking to repair after difficult times. No need to wait until things are "broken" – therapy can support growth at any stage.

EMDR is a structured therapy that helps people heal from trauma and emotional distress. When something overwhelming happens, our brain can get "stuck" in the experience, making it feel like the past is still happening now. EMDR helps the brain reprocess those memories so they feel more distant, less intense, and no longer interfere with the present. This approach uses gentle eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to support your natural healing process. Many people find relief more quickly than with talk therapy alone. If you're struggling with past experiences, anxiety, or feel emotionally triggered in ways that don’t make sense, EMDR may help.

From there, we will begin shaping a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and discuss scheduling and next steps as we move forward. The intake session is designed to identify how we can work together to meet your unique needs.
