Couples Therapy · EFT
Stuck in the same fight? Feel close again.
Emotionally Focused couples therapy in Las Vegas.
You care about your relationship
Even the best relationships need care. Sometimes we get stuck in a cycle of conflict or distance we can’t find our way out of. We try to fix things, and it keeps not working. It can even feel like your partner has stopped trying.
As an experienced marriage counselor, I have worked with hundreds of well-meaning couples who simply got stuck. I know what you are going through, and I know how to help.
What is EFT?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) grew out of the science of adult attachment: we are wired to need closeness and to feel safe with the people we love. EFT is best known as a tested and proven approach for couples. Instead of teaching you scripts, it helps you understand the feelings under your fights, so you can turn back toward each other.
The pursue-withdraw cycle
Many couples fall into the same dance. One partner pushes to talk, gets louder, or criticizes, because they want to feel close. The other pulls back, goes quiet, or shuts down, because they want to keep the peace. Each move makes the other’s move stronger, and both people end up feeling alone.
In EFT, the cycle is the problem, not either of you. Once you can see it together, you can step out of it.
What the first session is like
- We meet together, both partners in the room.
- Each of you gets to share what’s been happening and what you hope will change.
- I’ll ask about your history and how arguments usually go.
- There’s no blame. My job is to help both of you feel heard.
- You’ll leave with a clearer picture of the pattern you’re caught in.
The 3 stages of EFT
Stage 1
Calm the cycle
We map your pattern and the feelings beneath it, so the fights lose their heat.
Stage 2
Reach for each other
You learn to share needs and fears in a way your partner can hear and answer.
Stage 3
Make it last
You bring your new closeness to old problems and build habits that keep it going.
Questions couples ask
What if my partner won’t come?
It’s common for one partner to be unsure. Reach out anyway and we can talk about how to invite them.
Is it too late for us?
Couples counseling can help even very challenging relationships, including ones that feel hopeless.
We tried counseling before and it didn’t help. Why would this be different?
I hear this all the time. EFT focuses on the emotional pattern between you, not just communication tips.
Can EFT help after an affair?
Yes. Rebuilding trust after a big rupture is part of the work I do with couples.
What does it cost?
$200 for 60 minutes, $250 for 90 minutes. I accept CIGNA, United Health, AETNA, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Carelon.
