Couples Therapy.
In-person in Newburyport, MA & online.
Is your relationship or marriage stuck in a cycle?
Do you want to repair or connect but you don’t know how? You’ve come to the right place. I can help.
Let’s face it, relationships are… complex.
AND they can also be wonderful. Getting back to or finding that deep connection is worth the work. I approach couples therapy using a model called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is evidence-based and effective — it gets results! Whether your relationship is struggling due to significant life events or you are feeling disconnected for unknown reasons, EFT can help.
What makes EFT couples therapy different?
-
Focus
In EFT couples therapy, the negative cycle and pattern are identified as the problem. I can help you learn to blame the cycle, rather than each other.
-
Communication
You will learn how to connect with your partner in an emotional way, rather than just learning new communication skills. While EFT does help couples communicate better, the communication is deep, heartfelt, and meaningful.
-
Experience
EFT is experiential. I will help you learn how to repair wounds and reconnect through new emotional experiences that you will have together as a couple.
