Couples Counseling

Couples counseling at Sarasota Counseling

In my work with couples, I integrate Gottman-informed strategies with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic insight to support relational healing and long-term resilience. Using the Gottman framework, I help partners strengthen their friendship system, improve conflict management, and build shared meaning through structured interventions grounded in empirical research. Through EFT, I guide couples in identifying and reshaping emotional patterns that drive disconnection, fostering secure attachment and emotional responsiveness. Psychodynamic principles allow us to explore deeper relational templates—often shaped by early experiences—that influence how partners perceive and respond to one another. This integrative approach supports both behavioral change and emotional depth, helping couples move from reactivity to reflection, from rupture to repair. My goal is to help partners cultivate trust, intimacy, and a more compassionate understanding of themselves and each other.
