Couples Therapy

Experience deeper connection and intimacy with your partner.

Your intimate relationships can be a source of your greatest healing and your greatest pain. You may feel stuck in negative communication patterns with your partner that can lead to pain and resentment. We will work together to communicate the thoughts and feelings that keep you stuck in these patterns. Together, you will learn and practice positive communication patterns that will help you feel closer and more connected. Cascade Family Therapy is LGBTQ+ affirming.

Couples therapy

If you are experiencing disconnection, conflict about important decisions or want to build a closer and more trusting relationship, couples therapy can be a place to meet these goals. Couples therapy provides a safe space for you to have a neutral third party guide your conversations. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have specific training and experience in working with couples. I use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) methods to help you experience a trusting connection with your partner. I have Level 2 training for The Gottman Method Couple Therapy which provides evidenced-based skills to help you build positive communication skills and conflict resolution skills. And I have training to administer the Gottman Connect assessment. I welcome couples from all multicultural backgrounds.

Couples welcoming new children

If you are preparing to or have recently welcomed a child into your home through birth, adoption or otherwise, I can help you process this transition to your new normal as a couple. We will discuss the impact of this change on your couple relationship, emotional and mental health, self care patterns and self esteem. We will strengthen your communication skills and provide you practical tools for conflict resolution and problem solving for the joys and challenges of this transition.
