Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding and changing the patterns that create issues in your relationship.

Couples often find themselves caught in repetitive cycles—one partner may pursue, the other may withdraw, or both may feel misunderstood and reactive. Over time, these patterns can create distance, erode trust, and make it difficult to feel connected or secure in the relationship. Through EFCT, I can help you both understand each other and work on your concerns stemming from the core of your relationship, and guide you two to respond in a new, more emotionally accessible way.

This therapy may be helpful for your relationship if:

• Either of you are feeling stuck in the same arguments and can’t seem to break out of that cycle

• You are experiencing distance, disconnection, and/or emotional withdrawal

• You’re both struggling with communication

• Navigating trust issues, including after a rupture or betrayal

• Struggling with emotional intimacy or connection

• Are considering separation and want clarity on whether your relationship is repairable or begin having conversations on how to end amicably.

Through EFCT, you will:

• Understand the negative patterns that keep you stuck

• Learn how to express your needs and emotions more openly and safely

• Be guided towards feeling heard, validated, and emotionally supported by your partner

• Rebuild trust and emotional closeness

• Create a more secure, connected, and resilient relationship
