Maybe you’re wondering how your relationship got here. You may feel lonely, unheard, angry, or like nothing you do is ever quite right. Maybe you’ve tried harder, explained yourself differently, shut down, or put up walls just to protect yourself—and somehow you keep ending up in the same painful place. I work with couples who have gotten caught in these patterns. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s happening for each of you, because underneath the conflict are two people longing to feel safe, known, loved, and understood. Even when it feels hopeless, there can be a way forward.
I work from an attachment perspective, with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). Rather than deciding who is right, we’ll slow things down and look beneath the conflict to understand the fears, longings and protective patterns at work. Whether I’m working with a couple or individual, your story matters—and it makes sense.
In addition to clinical counseling, I am also highly trained in Formational Prayer through Healing Care Ministries. This is an inner healing approach that creates space for Jesus to be invited into your most wounded places to bring healing, into your lies and false beliefs to bring you the truth, and into your emotional pain so you can grieve and let him bring comfort. I often tell people that while I have a lot of training in counseling and be a great help, Jesus can do in a moment what i might be able to help you get “sort of close to” in maybe months of therapy. Not that I can’t help a lot. I can. And Jesus can do more and do it better than I. I love helping make space for that to happen.
Change becomes possible when you feel safe enough to understand yourself and risk being known in new ways. Whether you hope to reconnect with your partner or find greater peace within yourself, you don’t have to figure it out alone. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
