Couples Therapy
Are you and your partner stuck in the same painful conversations, feeling unheard, misunderstood, or emotionally disconnected?
Many couples come to therapy feeling frustrated, distant, or unsure how to repair what’s been damaged. You may find yourselves caught in cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or resentment that feel impossible to break.
I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to help both partners slow things down, understand the deeper emotions driving these patterns, and begin to experience each other in a new way. As we work together, you’ll learn how to communicate more effectively, reduce defensiveness, and rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and connection.
Couples therapy is not about assigning blame, it’s about helping both partners feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward a stronger, more secure relationship.
Individual Counseling
Understand yourself more deeply so you can create healthier, more secure relationships
Feeling stuck in your relationship
You love your partner but something keeps getting in the way. The same arguments, the same distance, the same hurt. I help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface, so you can stop the cycle and start to reach each other again.
Navigating infidelity
Whether you're the one who had an affair or the one who just found out, the ground beneath you has shifted. There's no judgment here, only space to make sense of what happened, what you're feeling, and what you want your life to look like now.
Breaking old patterns
If you've just left a relationship and you can see the same painful patterns playing out again, you're not broken, you're responding to old wounds. Together we'll look at where those patterns come from and help you build something different going forward.
Reconnecting with yourself
Sometimes the disconnection isn't just with others, it's with yourself. If you've lost touch with what you feel, what you need, or who you are in your relationships, therapy can help you come home to yourself and build a more secure foundation from within.
Turning Toward
A 3-hour Couples Intensive
For couples navigating the aftermath of infidelity or feeling stuck in painful patterns, this private intensive offers focused, immediate support to help you begin making sense of what’s happening and how to move forward.
When a relationship is in crisis, especially after the discovery of an affair, weekly therapy can feel too slow. Emotions are high, conversations escalate quickly, and many couples find themselves stuck in the same painful cycle without resolution.
A couples therapy intensive offers a different approach.
This extended, 3-hour session allows us to slow the process down in a meaningful way so each partner has the time and space to feel heard, understood, and supported. Rather than trying to fit complex emotions and experiences into a standard session, we are able to go deeper, helping you begin to understand the patterns, pain, and disconnection that have developed.
What the process looks like:
You will each have a 60-minute individual telehealth session prior to the intensive. These sessions allow me to better understand your personal experience, perspective, and goals.
We then meet for a 3-hour, in-person intensive in Northbrook, IL on a Friday (10:00am–1:00pm).
During the intensive, I guide you through a structured process that helps:
Slow down conflict and reactivity
Increase understanding of each partner’s emotional experience
Identify the patterns that keep you stuck
Begin building a more secure and connected way of relating
