If you are here, you may be feeling lonely, worried, sad, stuck, and emotionally distant from your partner. Perhaps you are navigating a particular challenge such as infertility, parenting, a career change, infidelity, a move, death/loss, financial stress—and rather than experiencing love and support, a feeling of togetherness during this difficult time, you are experiencing increased tension and conflict in the relationship. If this resonates, I am glad you are here! I support both individuals in the process of couples therapy—together, you are my client. I work with couples to help them expand and rework their emotional responses to one another in order to foster more effective, supportive interactions; to enhance closeness and intimacy. Ultimately, the goal of couples therapy is to create a secure, loving bond, where each partner feels seen, understood, and valued by the other, and where you accept, and even embrace, each other’s unique qualities. I look forward to the possibility of meeting you and working together. Please email me to discuss setting up a complimentary, 20–30 minutes meeting to learn more. |

Couples who arrive at therapy are often struggling to manage conflict in a way that feels productive. They feel less connected with their partner than they had previously. Conversations that once seemed effortless require more energy. Arguments have become more frequent and often end without resolution. Their conflict and disconnection get in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the partner they want to be. Many feel they’re failing in their relationship, and they lack confidence that things will improve. Like the couples I work with, you deserve to have the kind of relationship you both want. A relationship that brings you happiness, connection, and meaning. Managing inevitable conflict is not out of your reach. If you want to feel hopeful about your future together I’d love to help you get there. Despite therapy having a reputation for talking about our problems, I believe therapy is equally a space to celebrate the strengths of your relationship and have fun! I help couples not just manage conflict, but also connect through it by offering tools for communication and resources to enhance connection. You don’t have to stay stuck, and neither does your relationship. I can help. |

I am a relational therapist, working with both individuals and couples. I am an empathetic and compassionate listener and aim to really understand you and your emotional experience. With couples, I help you to communicate these emotions and understand the attachment longings that fuel them. Together we learn how to get unstuck from your negative interaction patterns and experientially help you to lean into both your own and your partner's internal experiences. I am also a sex therapist and practice from a sex-positive, client-centered, pleasure-focused lens. |

I specialize in helping couples with relationship and communication issues. I also work with individuals who feel bogged down and want to make changes but aren't sure how, or who feel that depression, anxiety, or grief holds them back. My clients and I work together to create a way forward while feeling supported. I help couples with communication by understanding the cycles couples get stuck in and the dreams behind what each partner wants in their ideal relationship. I help people through crisis and transition in relationships, increasing communication skills and fostering the development of the feelings of security needed for increased intimacy. I use various approaches, including the practical focus of Dr. Gottman and cognitive-behavioral therapy as well as traditions of mindfulness and Emotionally Focused Therapy. |

I believe in the power of couples therapy, and using the EFT model in particular. I understand how painful it can be to experience ongoing conflict or distance in our most important relationships. Sometimes we need a new way of looking at thingswithin us and between ourselves and our partnerto understand what's going on. With this new understanding, we can start to make the changes that will lead to a closer, more connected relationship. Oftentimes, couples wait a long time before seeking help. It can be scary not knowing what to expect, and wondering if it will really help. By this time, they have experienced a lot of pain, and have established negative ways of interacting as a way to cope with the stress. Don't wait! Help is availablejust take the first step. Call or email me today and we can talk about how I can help. I'm available for sessions via teletherapy. |

I am a firm believer in the power of healing relationships and know that as human beings, we all need connection to thrive. It's difficult to feel 100% if our relationships aren't satisfying and right. If you are uneasy or unsure about investing in couples therapy, don’t hesitate any longer. Relational satisfaction is a key component to your mental well-being. We are meant to connect with others. So, it makes sense that when our relationships are in distress, feelings of sadness and loneliness creep into our life. Whether you are dealing with ongoing conflict, communication issues, loss of connection, or violations of trust, I can be your relationship consultant to further explore what’s going on and help you figure out what you want for your relationship. Contact me today! |

I am passionate about helping couples establish strong foundations so they can not only withstand difficult times, but also grow and thrive over time. I draw on my thorough training in various couples therapy approaches (primarily EFT and Gottman), as well as over two decades of experience as a therapist (not to mention my own 30+ years of marriage). My goal is to offer a safe, encouraging environment in which couples can learn to navigate through difficult times and deal with conflict more effectively ... but also an environment in which they can learn how to cultivate greater depth and emotional intimacy in their relationship. Ultimately, I want to help couples deepen their connection and find a “safe haven” in one another. |

Our couple and family relationships are where we experience our greatest highs and our greatest lows. That’s both wonderful and difficult, frustrating, and confusing. But it’s normal. I love helping people understand what activates their panic, fear, and withdrawal in these important relationships, and how they get caught in a negative cycle or “dance.” If we can be clear about what we are reacting to, and the stories we tell ourselves about each other and our relationships, we can learn to explore those with each other safely, and learn what is really under the surface. Learning to slow down and communicate more accurate emotional messages has been shown to change relationships and enhance connection, creating the secure bond and safe haven that we all long for. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds. I invite you to consider working with me, and I offer a free telephone consult to determine if we are a fit. |

As a licensed psychologist, I provide culturally responsive psychotherapy services to adults and couples. My mission is to help individuals and couples reach their full potential for connection, growth and vitality using a holistic approach. Integrating EFT in my work with you means we address the patterns that keep you from feeling the closeness you want in your relationship and offers a framework, language and skills to help you communicate your feelings and needs. The process facilitates healing and changes that often lead to a deeper connection, increased security and a more resilient relationship. I enjoy my work very much. I offer free consultations and look forward to talking with you. |

I believe we are all created for connection in relationship, and that all relationships have the potential to bring great joy and great struggle. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship between us, and that addressing the concerns that bring you to therapy can be a process that brings healing, transformation, and growth. My approach to counseling varies but is primarily informed by attachment and a relational psychodynamic perspective. EFT is a novel adaptation of attachment theory that helps restore the bonds of connection in our most important relationship, the one we share with our significant other. My hope is to help each and every couple I meet with to experience a more fulfilling relationship based upon strengthening the bond between them. Thanks. |

As a fully Certified EFT couples therapist and a Level 2 EFT individual therapist, my goal in therapy is to help couples, men and women cultivate a greater awareness, acceptance and regulation of emotion, thought and behavior. I assist clients in becoming fully aware of core emotions and the disconnecting behaviors that result when they are unrecognized and unshared. We will work together to help you develop the ability to communicate in ways that will foster increased connection and intimacy with all of your relationships. In this process, you can gain a more meaningful understanding of how you interact with your partner or spouse, and other close people in your life. In gentle and powerful ways my clients come to understand how it is that they have become distant from once cherished loved ones—and how to grow a safer, more accepting and secure connection to yourself and to those with whom you are in relationship. |

I work together with my wife, Karin Matthews, as a co-therapy team to help couples bring more connection and life to their relationships. Karin and I are two very different people: female/male, extrovert/introvert, expressive/reserved, with different careers and cultural backgrounds. Working together as a team allows us to offer you the benefit of our combined backgrounds, personalities, and perspectives. We find that our own diversity meshes well with the diversity within the couples that we see and helps us make sense of what both partners of a couple are experiencing. If you’re having a hard time with conflict, or are feeling more distant and disconnected than you’d like, we can work with you to help you understand how you’ve come to be stuck where you are and to find new ways to navigate your differences with compassion and respect for yourselves and each other. |

According to Sue Johnson, strong loving relationships are increasingly correlated with individual physical and psychological health. I support clients in discovering how they contribute to their relationship dynamic. Once they understand how they cocreate their dance, I help them explore new ways of managing their emotions in connection with each other. My husband and I work as a team to help couples grow together. As former high-tech and legal professionals, we understand how work demands can affect relationships. As parents, we get how children are a source of both joy and stress. As an intercultural couple, we recognize the challenges in bridging different world views. |

I help couples get underneath cycles of criticism, stonewalling, and distress so that they can find intimacy and connection and a way forward. I also specialize in working with blended families and parenting conflicts. My work is attachment traumainformed, and it is greatly influenced by the couple-oriented work of Sue Johnson and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am currently certifying as a sex therapist and invite couples and individuals working through sexual dysfunction to seek me out. I believe in creating a non-judgmental, safe place for couples to resolve distress and discover intimacy. I welcome clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. |

I work in partnership with people to identify ways problems have affected their livesand strategize ways to help them regain control over their lives. I work collaboratively examining challenges/problems, particularly looking to uncover life experiences that contradict problemscontradictions that may provide ways for people to create preferred ways to live with those challenges. Perhaps the best statement that reflects my philosophy of practice is from Michael White: "The problem is the problem; you are not the problem." |

Counseling can help you get unstuck, set goals, reduce anxiety and depression, take action to feel better, and help you have more control of your life. With a compassionate and supportive approach, I help people find real solutions to important issues in life, work, and relationships. I help people identify negative emotions and limiting beliefs and replace them with healthy coping skills and positive strategies to change their lives. Through integrating current research in neurobiology and attachment, I help couples acknowledge, respect, and understand each other better. I help couples break negative patterns that undermine their relationships and find real tools for improving their communication and connection. Education and understanding of each partner's emotional regulation is an important part of the process. Conflict is a normal part of couple communication. Every couple has both a positive and negative communication cycle. Conflict intimacy is learned and an important part of growing together. When couples understand how their emotions, needs, and behaviors affect each other in the communication cycle, they learn how to maintain secure attachment and foster positive relationships. |

Every person, couple, and family struggles from time to time. Sometimes it is hard to get through these rough patches alone. Having a compassionate and supportive individual attending to your concerns provides a safe environment to create positive change. As a marriage and family therapist who uses emotionally focused therapy, I am curious about interactions that are keeping you stuck in the uncomfortable and enthusiastic about conversations that begin to create understanding and new patterns of connection. I focus on many aspects of being human including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life events, transitions and specialize in sexual health and intimacy. I also utilize narrative therapy, trauma-focused therapy, tantric and mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. |

Life is a journey that requires courage and support to thrive. Caring for your mental health is a basic need we all have. Imagine a safe place to come as you are. I will help you to see you are enough. We start by loving what is and grow from there. I believe that early childhood experiences inform our understanding of relationships and how we see the world as well as how we move through it for better or worse. At intake, I will hear your story, patterns, and goals, and we will customize a care plan that fits you. I use various evidence-based methods according to your individual goals and needs, most notably EFT. I also love to use mindfulness and brief guided meditations to end our time together. I am passionate about helping couples, individuals, and families discover more within themselves and develop deep and lasting bonds and relationships. Let me help you get unstuck from patterns or habits that don't serve your ultimate goals and be a safe place to discuss what matters. Beyond doing the work that brings you in, my goal is that you leave every session feeling more at peace than when you arrived. |

You and your partner are struggling right now, and maybe have been for a long time. Life's transitions such as retirement, marriage, or birth of a new child can make staying connected with your partner quite difficult at times. Or other challenges in your relationship can leave you with difficulty trusting and feeling alone or like roommates. You both are tired of being stressed, tired of all the yelling, tired of being tired. Going to therapy can be scary, but you won't be alone. With me, you and your partner will cry, laugh, and work hard together! Please go to my website under the "Appointments" tab to contact me for a complimentary 1520 minute phone consultation to see if we'd be a good fit. |

When your relationships struggle, your entire life can be a struggle. At times it can seem that even though you desire rewarding and fulfilling relationships, countless obstacles prevent this from happening. We can all find ourselves stuck in this place at times, unable to change personal situations or navigate difficulties in relationships. I provide evidence-based care using EFT to help couples connect rather than fight. Working with individuals, I help navigate depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and life transitions. I am particularly drawn to working with individuals in addiction recovery, as well as those impacted by other people's addictions. I provide a free 20-minute phone consultation for prospective clients. |

Please note that my practice is full, and I am no longer accepting new couples. Since 1984, I have been a licensed psychologist practicing in the Pike Place Market area. I see individuals and couples for depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal problems. My career changed about four years ago when I first heard Sue Johnson speak. She described the yearning that all people have to feel safely attached, to feel secure in the arms of the person they love. She described EFT and showed videos of the work. Her lecture changed my career. I have taken both levels of training and hope to become certified as an EFT therapist. I have been challenged, excited and inspired by the EFT philosophy, practice and approach. It’s neither simplistic nor easy. But it is tender, nonjudgmental, and optimistic. When EFT works, important moments happen…and those moments can lead to lasting change. |

I believe that sometimes in our partnerships when we try to connect we can end up in a cycle of communication that is not helpful. This is no one’s fault. Couples therapy can be a place to slow down, unpack this cycle, help you both understand your own individual experiences and share it with the other in a way that is digestible in service of creating healthier and loving dynamics. I am here to help you to work together we will work to clarify your values, understand your motivations and behaviors, and implement healthier patterns within your relationships. I can help you discover and move towards what truly matters to you. Let me help you be the best versions of yourselves in your partnerships. My areas of specialization are inter-racial, intercultural and neurodivergent couples. | |||

All couples have cycles that bring them together or further apart. I will help you and your partner learn about your unique cycle, find ways to de-escalate conflict, and help you express deeper feelings and needs often covered up by conflict. The goal is for you both to be able acknowledge and discuss these with greater awareness, vulnerability, and compassion, creating an opportunity for a deeper bond. I look forward to learning more about you! |

I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) psychotherapist who helps couples and individuals improve their communication and develop their potential, to grow as personally and in relationships. Through EFT I have found the framework to enable my clients to see where their relationship is trapped without blaming one person. We focus on how 'my behavior influences how you react, which at the same time influences how I respond to your response.' I can help you adjust to major life changes (acculturation process, medical illness, separation, empty nest, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more) and strengthen your ability to cope with adversity and regain peace. I am interested in the psychological, biological, social, and spiritual well-being of the person. I am originally from Chile, where I studied and provided therapy for 4 years. I earned my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and a certificate in medical family therapy at Seattle Pacific University. |

Healing is possible. I empower individuals and couples to tell their stories, understand themselves, feel unburdened by past traumas so they can have more peace, joy, and freedom in their lives. Together we can build a therapeutic relationship on the foundation of safety, trust, compassion, and authenticity. I have seen people grow and heal in incredible ways when they are allowed to be their true selves, free from the fear of oppression, violence, and judgment. |

I work with couples, adults, and teens who desire to feel more connected to themselves and others. We can all fall into habitual patterns that leave us unhappy, unfulfilled, and disconnected. Whether this shows up as anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship conflict, I can help you identify these patterns, work with the emotions that keep you stuck, and support you as you create new patterns congruent with what you want for your life and relationships. My approach is informed by an anti-oppression, Health at Every Size, and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens, which means I work to understand your unique context, needs, barriers, and identities. My style is direct, collaborative, and conversational as I support you toward healing and growth. |
