If you're a couple who’s feeling stuck but still hopeful and ready to grow, I’d be honored to support your relationship, at my office in Tigard or virtually anywhere in Oregon. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a research-backed, experiential approach that helps couples repair trust, improve communication, and rebuild emotional closeness. Our sessions will move beyond surface-level fixes to the deeper emotional work of healing and reconnection: learning in real time how to share and be responsive to each other’s fears and needs. You discover how to course-correct when that familiar cycle of conflict or disconnection starts to spin so you can problem solve, discuss difficult topics and even just have fun together from a place of security and connection. My style is genuine, warm, and nonjudgmental. I don’t take sides, assign blame, or rely on generic advice. Instead, I help both partners connect with their lived experiences and strengths so they can fully own their role in creating a meaningful bond. Couples often share they feel heard, grounded and safe enough to show up fully to do meaningful inner work— even if they were or skeptical of or completely new to therapy. I also have unique insight into Christian perspectives and honor the values you bring—without pressure, assumptions, or demands for perfection.
