Communication & Conflict  Therapy

in Texas & Illinois

Because healthy communication is the foundation of every strong relationship

Most couples don’t struggle because they don’t love each other.

They struggle because they get stuck — stuck in misunderstandings, resentment, hurt feelings, or conversations that never reach the heart of what they’re trying to say.

If you find yourselves talking in circles, shutting down, getting reactive, or drifting apart emotionally, you’re not alone. Communication challenges are one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy…and one of the most treatable.

With the right support, you can learn to communicate in a way that brings you closer—not further apart.

My Approach:

              Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Communication & Conflict

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, one of the most effective, research-backed methods for helping couples transform communication patterns and deepen emotional connection.

EFT doesn’t just teach communication skills.

It helps you understand why you communicate the way you do—and how to shift the emotional patterns underlying the conflict.

How EFT Helps You Communicate More Effectively

Identify Your negative cycle

Most couples have a predictable pattern: one partner pursues or protests, the other withdraws or shuts down. We will map this cycle together and help both of you understand what’s really happening underneath.

Build Emotional Safety

You’ll learn how to talk about difficult topics in ways that feel calm, respectful, and grounded—even if you’ve struggled for years.

Express What You Truly Feel

Using EFT, we move from surface-level arguments to deeper emotional conversations that reveal what you each really need, miss, or long for.

Improve Communication Skills

You’ll learn practical tools for: listening without defensiveness, speaking without criticism, managing conflict without escalation, and communicating boundaries and needs clearly.

Strengthen Connection & Repair

Real closeness comes from successful repair. You’ll learn how to come back together after disagreements in ways that build trust and security.

This work is for couples who:

  • Are tired of repeating the same arguments

  • Want to feel emotionally heard and understood

  • Struggle to stay calm during conflict

  • Feel disconnected or distant

  • Want to strengthen communication before marriage

  • Prefer online couples therapy in Texas or Illinois

  • You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. Many couples come because they want to grow stronger together
