What you’re missing isn’t each other. It’s the light between you.

COUPLES THERAPY

These are common reasons couples seek support, but every relationship holds its own quiet ache:

Modalities that may be integrated

Attachment-Based & Emotionally Focused Approaches

Emotionally Focused Therapy-Informed Couples Work

An attachment-based model that supports couples in de-escalating conflict cycles, repairing emotional injuries, and restoring secure connection.

Internal Family Systems-Informed Relational Work

Based on the IFS model, this approach helps each partner explore their inner “parts” and understand how protective responses shape conflict and intimacy.

Gottman-Informed Couples Work

Draws from the Gottman Method, a research-based model developed by the Gottman Institute, to strengthen communication, manage conflict, and deepen emotional and physical intimacy.

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy

Combines behavioral change strategies with radical acceptance of enduring differences, especially useful for couples stuck in polarized patterns.

Relational Life Therapy

A bold, gender-conscious model that challenges each partner to take accountability, disrupt relational patterns, and engage with honesty and presence.

Discernment Counseling

A structured, time-limited approach for mixed-agenda couples—where one partner is leaning out and the other wants to stay. Helps clarify direction before engaging in deeper therapy or making final decisions.

The concerns listed here are only examples of the challenges we work with; many others may not be named but are just as valid. Whether you’re coming on your own or with a partner, your experience is unique—and together we can collaborate on how to make things better. If your struggle isn’t listed, or if you’re simply seeking clarity about therapy, feel free to reach out by phone or email. Every story deserves a beginning, and every beginning deserves a light to guide it.
