Couples Therapy

Couples therapy provides a safe and supportive space to navigate relational challenges, whether you're struggling with communication, intimacy, trust, or other stressors. We use a combination of evidence-based approaches as well as faith-based practices (for clients that request it and welcome this approach) to help you reconnect, heal, and build a stronger foundation for your relationship.

Improved Communication

Develop a deeper understanding of the barriers to effective communication in your relationship by exploring both past and present influences. Often, unresolved traumas, hurts, and losses can contribute to communication breakdowns. Our compassionate approach ensures that both partners feel heard and understood as we navigate these issues together.

Through this process, you will learn practical tools to communicate more effectively, enabling you to better understand each other's needs and resolve conflicts peacefully. Discover how to express your feelings and needs without creating distance, and master communication techniques that ensure your partner truly hears you. Together, we’ll foster a healthier dialogue that strengthens your connection.

Stronger Emotional Connection

Revitalize your emotional intimacy and reignite the bond that initially brought you together, fostering a stronger relationship for the future.

Discover the essence of genuine connection in your committed partnership or marriage. For some couples, this connection can feel elusive or fragile, often influenced by past relationships and attachment patterns. Our skilled couples therapists specialize in both systems work and trauma-informed care, equipping us to provide comprehensive therapy that addresses not only present challenges but also the deeper issues affecting your connection and intimacy.

Repaired Trust

Heal from past betrayals and restore the vital foundation of trust necessary for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

In our therapy sessions, you'll learn effective strategies for managing conflict constructively instead of fearing it. We’ll guide you in regulating your own emotions while harnessing the power of co-regulation to cultivate a secure connection with your partner. Additionally, we’ll explore the essential steps for repairing broken trust and maintaining a healthy, trusting relationship moving forward. Together, we’ll work toward rebuilding the bonds that strengthen your partnership.

Our Approach

We specialize in a variety of proven therapeutic approaches tailored to meet your unique needs as a couple. These include:

  • PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy): This approach integrates principles of attachment theory, neuroscience, and emotion regulation to help couples strengthen their emotional connection and improve their relationship dynamics.

  • EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy): Focuses on creating secure emotional bonds between partners by exploring and expressing underlying emotions, which helps to resolve conflicts and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

  • Family Systems Therapy: Examines the roles, patterns, and dynamics within the family unit, addressing how these factors impact individual behavior and the overall relationship, and working to improve communication and relational health.

  • The Developmental Model: Considers how each partner’s individual developmental experiences and stages affect their relationship. This model helps couples understand and navigate these influences to enhance their connection and support each other’s growth.

  • The Gottman Method: Utilizes research-based strategies to improve communication, manage conflict, and build a stronger relationship foundation. This method focuses on creating positive interactions and understanding each other’s needs.

  • Christian-Integration: For couples seeking a Christian-centered approach, we offer a Christian-integration model that draws on Biblical truths and values. This method helps couples navigate struggles, pain, and disconnection, fostering a deeper relational and spiritual connection. Our approach incorporates Bible teachings, prayer, spiritual disciplines, and insights to support couples on their journey together

Each of these modalities focuses on different aspects of relationship health, from emotional bonding to practical tools for daily communication and problem-solving.
