Couples in distress

Adults looking to build secure relationships
You might be
looking for therapy
because…
You feel stuck in repeating relationship cycles
You and your partner feel distant or misunderstood
You want deeper emotional connection, not just venting in circles
You feel anxious and overwhelmed, and it feels exhausting
Sometimes your relationship needs someone to walk alongside you…
A steady presence.
A place to slow down.
A space where both of you feel heard.
I am here…
to walk alongside you,
to help you gain clarity,
to gently uncover the patterns you find yourselves stuck in,
to understand the blocks that keep you feeling disconnected,
to recognize the cycle beneath the conflict,
and to create a space where both of you feel emotionally safe enough to open up.
Together, we work to soften defensiveness, deepen understanding, and strengthen the emotional bond between you.
You don’t have to keep trying to figure this out alone.
Why Emotionally Focused Therapy Works
Emotionally Focused Therapy is grounded in attachment science, the understanding that we are wired for connection.
When we feel emotionally safe, we soften.
When we feel heard, we open.
When we feel secure, we grow.
Rather than focusing only on communication techniques or surface level strategies, we work with the deeper emotional patterns that shape how you respond to one another, especially in moments of stress or conflict.
As those patterns shift, connection becomes more natural and lasting.
If you are looking for couples therapy or anxiety therapy in St. Charles, IL, I welcome you to reach out to get the support you need and deserve.
