Emotionally focused couples therapy for communication, connection, and change
Relationships can be a place of connection, and also where we get stuck.
Couples therapy can give you space to slow down and understand the patterns that keep pulling you into the same conflicts or leaving you feeling far apart. Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), we focus on what happens between you and your partner so you can better understand those patterns and create more room for connection and choice.
Couples therapy that considers culture and identity
Every relationship has its own context. Culture, race, family expectations, identity, and lived experience can all shape how couples understand one another and move through conflict. Jessica brings attention to those factors as part of the work, without assuming they define the relationship.
Inclusive, Empathic Support for:
- Frequent conflict
- Infidelity
- Parenting challenges
- Cultural differences
- Relational trauma
- Sexual Desire Discrepancy
- Premarital preparation
- Navigating non-monogamy
