“In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage.

Are you worried about the state of your relationship? Do you have trouble seeing a future together? Do you feel ready to end it all?
Don’t give up yet! We help couples to have a different kind of conversation with each other. It is a slower, more vulnerable kind of conversation that allows connection to re-emerge and, ultimately, strengthen.
We primarily use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help resolve relationship distress and strengthen a couples relationship. So even if you think you’ve tried everything, and nothing has worked, our approach can open avenues of discussion you didn’t know about or think possible, and that can bring you back together in a stronger union than before.
Our couples therapists have use a feedback-informed treatment philosophy that allows us to:
- See improvement sooner rather than later – you deserve this and should expect it.
- Track progress and know when to make adjustments
- Target what is working and what is not so that we can optimize each session
We create an environment that is curious, non-judgmental and compassionate – and we help you both to do this as partners with each other. Sound like we can help? Move towards resolution by scheduling an appointment today.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
