Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

You want to talk it out, but you worry things won't change.
There are a lot of feelings underneath, like pain or resentment.
Conversations often escalate into arguments, and you both frequently go your separate ways without any resolution.
You're exhausted from having the same arguments repeatedly, feeling as if you're trapped in a never-ending cycle.
The distance and disconnect feels lonely for both of you.
There's a fear that if things don't change, you might drift even further apart.
If you're ready to reconnect on a deeper, more meaningful level, couples counseling can help. Whether you're looking for in-person or virtual couples counseling, Laura can facilitate your journey towards a healthier relationship.

Couples counseling helps by addressing the underlying root causes of disconnect or conflict in your relationship.
You can begin to understand what occurs, both within you and between you, as well as what you both genuinely desire.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, whether online or in-person, can help both partners learn to share, receive, and respond to vulnerable feelings, ultimately rebuilding trust, security, and a strong emotional bond.
Care for one another
and be cared for in return.
Remember, your partner isn't the enemy - it's the negative cycle.
The goal isn't to completely eliminate negativity or conflict in your relationship. Rather, it's about learning to come together, repair, and move forward in love.
Once you've decided to invest in your relationship, it's essential to choose a counselor who has pursued extensive specialized training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), which is recognized as the gold standard in couples counseling. This research-backed model, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, focuses on helping couples recognize painful patterns, restructure secure bonds, and reconnect on deeper emotional levels. Laura continues to engage in advanced, ongoing training as a member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) and travels across the country to attend and assist at training seminars and conferences.
The challenges your relationship is facing aren't solely a communication issue; they're fundamentally a connection issue. Couples deserve more than just basic communication skills or conflict resolution techniques. Laura helps couples uncover the root of what keeps them stuck by guiding them through conflict safely and facilitating the kinds of conversations that genuinely rebuild trust and connection. She works closely with couples to slow things down, understand each partner’s experience, and create real shifts in their responses to one another. Many couples often come to Laura after feeling like 'nothing has really worked,' but what Laura offers is different: it's structured, intentional, and deeply focused on helping both partners feel seen, safe, and understood again. If you've been searching for a couples counselor who can facilitate real change, your search ends here. Whether you're looking for in-person or virtual couples counseling, Laura provides options to support your needs.
