Restoring Connections Counseling Center
Why Therapy?
Because the way you love was learned — and it can be relearned. Maybe you're a person who keeps choosing partners who can't quite meet you, and you're ready to finally understand why. Maybe your blended family has more tension than togetherness, or ADHD is making it hard to feel like a team. Perhaps you miss the closeness you once had with your partner. You are exhausted by the same disconnecting patterns playing out time after time. You want your relationship to work but no matter what you try-you are disappointed and disconnected. You don't have to keep repeating the same cycles. Therapy can teach you a new way. Change is possible.
"When love doesn't work, we hurt."
-Dr. Sue Johnson
-
You love each other — but lately it feels like you're speaking different languages
-
The arguments aren't really about the dishes, the money, or who forgot to call back
-
You remember feeling close. You're not sure when that changed, or if it ever can again
-
You're sharing a life, but somewhere along the way, you stopped really seeing each other
-
Every fight feels like a rerun — same trigger, same explosion, same silence
-
One of you shuts down. The other pushes harder. And somehow you both end up alone
-
You've tried talking it through, but it always ends the same way
-
You're not fighting at each other — you're both fighting for the connection underneath
-
You're starting to wonder if this is just how it is now
-
The thought of staying like this feels unbearable. So does the thought of walking away
-
You want to fix it — but you don't even know where to begin
-
Love alone doesn't always feel like enough, and that terrifies you
I'm Amy and I'm glad you are here.
Finding a therapist can be challenging...
You didn't Google "couples therapist" because things are going great.
Maybe you've been having the same fight for five years. Maybe you love each other and also kind of can't stand each other right now. Maybe you're not even sure what's wrong — you just know something is. And now you're reading a therapist's website on a random weekday, which means you're either brave, desperate, or both. Honestly? Same thing.
Here's what I want you to know before you talk yourself out of calling: whatever you're doing that's making you crazy? There's a reason for it. You are not broken. You are not "the problem." You learned to do what you do because at some point, it made complete sense. My job isn't to fix you — it's to help you figure out what the heck is going on underneath all of it, together.
A little bit about me...
I'm Amy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 17 years of experience, and I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy — which is a research-backed way of saying I help people understand the patterns they're stuck in and actually change them, not just talk about them forever.
I will not sit across from you with a clipboard and a neutral expression. I am warm, I am direct, and I have been known to be funny — even about the things that aren't funny, because sometimes that's the only way through. I take my work seriously. I do not take myself too seriously. There's a difference, and you'll feel it.
Oh, and my office? It's a yurt. In a meadow. Because if you're going to do the hard, vulnerable, courageous work of therapy, you deserve to do it somewhere that doesn't feel like a waiting room at the DMV.
If you're reading this thinking "okay but I'm still not sure therapy is for me" — that's okay. Most people feel that way. You don't have to be ready. You just have to be curious enough to reach out.
I've got you from there.
Services
Couples Sessions
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move out of the same painful cycles and back toward each other. You'll learn what's really driving conflict beneath the surface — and start building the kind of connection that actually feels safe and close. Whether you're in a rough patch or have felt distant for a while, there's a way through.
Individual Sessions
So much of how we move through the world comes back to how we relate to ourselves — and to others. Whether you're curious about your attachment patterns, working to feel more secure in who you are, or navigating the emotional weight of leaving a relationship, this is a space to slow down and get to know yourself more deeply. Healing is possible, and you don't have to figure it out alone.
Intensives
Sometimes weekly therapy isn't enough — or you just can't wait. Intensives offer a focused, immersive alternative for couples who need real relief now or whose schedules make traditional therapy difficult. Over the course of two dedicated days, I block off everything else to give your relationship my full attention. Individuals can also benefit from extended, uninterrupted time to go deeper into their healing. More time, more progress, less waiting.
