Couples Therapy in Boulder

Every relationship has its seasons, moments of deep connection, and others where something feels off. You might be stuck in the same argument, walking on eggshells, or feeling more like roommates than partners. Maybe you’re trying, but you keep missing each other.

That’s a painful place to be, and it’s also incredibly common.

I offer couples therapy in Boulder using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-backed attachment therapy approach to helping partners reconnect, repair, and create lasting change. We’ll slow down, explore the attachment patterns that keep you stuck, and build something more honest, secure, and connected.

Whether you’re in crisis, navigating a transition, or simply wanting to feel close again, couples therapy can help you come back to each other in a way that feels real.

COUPLES THERAPY FAQ

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples identify and shift the emotional patterns that keep them stuck in conflict, fostering secure connection and better communication. EFT is one of the most evidence-based approaches in couples therapy and is highly effective for couples.

  • It depends on your goals and the complexity of your situation. Many couples start seeing meaningful change within 8–12 sessions of couples counseling, especially when both partners are ready to engage in the work.

  • Not at all. Many couples come in simply wanting to feel closer, communicate better, or work through a life transition together. Couples therapy can be proactive and preventative. It can also help you find one another again if you are in crisis.

  • It’s common for one partner to feel unsure. Starting couples therapy doesn't require perfect alignment, just a shared willingness to explore. Couples therapy sessions can help you clarify what you each want and begin that conversation in a guided, supportive space.

  • A good fit matters. I offer a free couples therapy consultation so both of you can get a feel for how I work and ask any questions. If it doesn’t feel right, I’ll help you find a couples therapist who does.
