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.

Are you struggling with disagreements and fights that never seem to get resolved? I'll help you repair patterns that lead to frustration, defensiveness, and disconnection. I work collaboratively with couples to weave together a new relationship of trust, respect, and clarity of purpose. Together we can discover a path forward towards a nurturing, healthy relationship—one that rekindles the spark that brought you together in the first place. As a couples therapist, I’m honored to witness profound shifts in acceptance and connection, and an overall sense of well-being and health. I look forward to talking to you about your relationship. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation.

Bob is certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and is a licensed counselor who has been working in the field of mental health and counseling for 29 years. He has devoted the last 15 to work with couples and enjoys this work very much. Please feel free to ring him if you would like to talk about how EFT may benefit you.

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.

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 am in training to be an EFT supervisor.

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 trauma–informed, 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.

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!

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.

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.

I provide couples and individual Emotion Focused Therapy helping clients who are often dealing with anxiety, depression and struggling with relationships. I provide a free initial consultation and would be happy to see if I might be the right fit to work with you.

My therapy practice is both in-person (Seattle) and online (serving all of Washington state).

I also provide life coaching services to anyone online and in-person in Seattle. The focus of my work ranges from business development services to executive, relationship and individual coaching. People often come to me looking for help with career transitions or improvements, improving relationships, dealing with workplace conflicts, job struggles, desiring to improve family interactions, developing their character, setting and achieving goals and executive or organizational development to name just a few areas.

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 am passionate about using Emotionally Focused Therapy in my work with individuals, couples, and families because of how I have found it to help clients get in touch with and powerfully express the deeper feelings and needs behind what has kept them stuck with themselves and others.
