Build a stronger relationship with yourself and the people you love

Couples Therapy in Boulder, Colorado

You’re not happy. Your partner isn’t happy.
When someone asks how you’re doing, you say, “I’m fine.”
But inside, you feel disconnected, lonely, or unheard. This isn’t the relationship you imagined—or the life you hoped for.

Reconnect with Your Partner
Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other evidence-based couples therapy approaches, I help couples rebuild emotional connection, trust, and intimacy. Together, we uncover the negative patterns that keep you stuck, explore the deeper emotions driving disconnection, and strengthen both your bond and your individual sense of self.

Balance Closeness and Individuality
Healthy relationships grow when both partners can be fully themselves while feeling safe with each other. Using differentiation skills alongside EFT, you’ll learn to stay grounded, honest, and emotionally available—so that closeness doesn’t mean losing yourself, and individuality doesn’t mean growing apart.

Improve Communication and Create Lasting Change
In couples counseling, you’ll develop tools to communicate openly, respond with care, and break the cycles that pull you apart. As your relationship strengthens, you’ll experience more comfort, security, and joy—turning toward each other in times of happiness, stress, or fear.

With compassion, warmth, and wisdom, I work with couples to rebuild trust, understanding, connection, and love.
