Romantic relationships can be a source of great joy and fulfillment, but they also present unique challenges and can, at times, bring significant pain. My approach to couples counseling is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps partners identify the negative patterns that lead to disconnection. I emphasize that the *process* of how you argue and fight is often more crucial than the specific *content* of your disagreements. Through couples therapy, the goal is to identify and interrupt these destructive patterns, helping you maintain connection even during difficult conversations and ultimately fostering increased emotional intimacy.
