Couples Counseling with the Gottman Method and EFT
Relationships can feel stuck for many reasons. For some, conflicts keep replaying, echoing past hurts and betrayals without ever being resolved. For others, closeness begins to fade, creating a painful distance and a longing for intimacy that feels out of reach. At Second Draft Counseling, I bring in the Gottman Method, a research-backed approach grounded in decades of relationship science, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which emphasizes strengthening emotional bonds and fostering security in your relationship. Together, these approaches help couples rediscover warmth, strengthen communication, and find meaning again.
No matter what you and your partner are facing, therapy offers a place to slow down, understand one another more deeply, and begin writing a stronger chapter together. Through therapy, you’ll learn practical skills to express your needs clearly, rebuild friendship, and move out of those repeating patterns into something more understanding and resilient.
We’ll explore the challenges you’re facing together, whether it’s balancing work and family, navigating blended-family life, recovering from betrayal or infidelity, managing chronic illness, preparing for marriage, or healing intimacy and connection.
