Rebuild Connection with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Every marriage goes through seasons of change. After years together, it’s common for couples to feel more like roommates than partners. The spark may have dimmed, conversations might feel shallow or repetitive, and the closeness you once shared can feel out of reach.
If you’ve found yourself saying, “We love each other, but we just don’t feel connected anymore,” you are not alone—and there is hope.
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?
Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidence-based approach designed to help couples understand the deeper emotions and needs beneath their conflicts. Instead of staying stuck in the same painful patterns, EFT gives couples a safe way to slow down, share more vulnerably, and truly hear each other again.
It’s not about learning quick communication tricks—it’s about creating lasting emotional shifts that help you feel safe, seen, and valued in your relationship.
How EFT Can Help You and Your Partner
Through EFT, couples I work with often find that they can:
Recognize the negative cycles that keep them stuck.
Express feelings more openly without fear of judgment.
Rebuild trust after years of distance.
Experience moments of closeness and tenderness again.
Maintain a stronger, healthier bond long after therapy ends.
A Safe Place to Reconnect
My clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me right away. That sense of safety matters, because it allows you both to take small risks—like saying what’s really in your heart—that lead to deeper intimacy.
If you’re ready to move from “roommates” back to partners, EFT can help you find your way back to each other.

EFT for Couples – FAQ
-
EFT focuses on the emotions and needs beneath the surface of conflict. Instead of staying stuck in “the same argument,” couples learn to see the cycle they’re caught in and create new, more connecting ways of relating. It’s not just about communication skills—it’s about rebuilding emotional safety and closeness.
-
Every couple is different. Some begin noticing small but meaningful changes after just a few sessions. Many couples work with me for several months to strengthen the emotional foundation of their relationship. My goal is to always get you to a point where therapy is no longer needed.
-
Not at all. EFT can help any couple who feels disconnected, whether you’re struggling quietly as “roommates” or facing ongoing conflict. The earlier you begin, the more space we have to heal and reconnect.
-
Yes. Part of EFT’s strength is that it gently helps partners who struggle with vulnerability feel safer sharing. I guide both of you through the process so no one feels left behind.
