Couples Counseling and Relationship Counseling
You may be wondering if there is a difference between marriage therapy, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, and couples therapy. These are all terms which refer to the same thing, and are used interchangeably. Whether you are single and looking for help to better understand yourself, engaged and want to iron out some challenges you are having, or are married and looking to get past hurts and reignite the positive feelings that have been harder to access lately, we can help.
Our Approach to Marriage Counseling
When working with couples, we foster a warm, caring environment, so both partners feel respected and heard. This atmosphere enables clients to express their need and desire for a close connection with their partner. Our experience and training provide us with the ability to help couples dealing with everyday conflicts, as well as those dealing with very difficult problems, create loving connections with each other.
Often, the central problem in distressed relationships is the loss of a secure emotional connection. In therapy, partners are helped to understand and break negative patterns, so they can create a loving and secure bond with each other.

Emotionally Focused Marriage Therapy
We use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Research outlining the effectiveness of EFT has found that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements.
People often ask, "what do couples fight ABOUT most?" The truth is, as you know, couples can argue about anything. An even better question is, "what do spouses fight FOR?" They fight to be heard and responded to. Often times arguments are about a particular topic, but really center around wanting to know "are you there for me?" Even if you negotiate a solution to the topic you are arguing about, you might not have gotten a satisfactory answer to the question fueling the argument-- "are you there for me?" We work with couples to help them understand each other and help them discuss difficult topics in a way that leads to both members of the couple feeling "my partner is there for me."
