Using evidence-based approaches
to strengthen connection
At the center of our work is attachment, the deep need to feel safe, understood, and connected, to ourselves and to the people who matter most. We use evidence-based approaches that help you make sense of emotional patterns, build stronger relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps bring awareness to the thoughts and beliefs that influence emotions and behavior. Often shaped by early relationships, these patterns can quietly impact self‑worth and connection. Together, we work to soften self‑criticism, increase emotional flexibility, and build a steadier sense of security in relationships.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) helps you learn to sit with difficult emotions without letting them take over. With a focus on values and mindful awareness, this approach helps you move toward the relationships and life you want; even when fear, doubt, or discomfort shows up.
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) is deeply rooted in attachment and focuses on emotional bonds in close relationships. This approach helps identify patterns that lead to disconnection and creates space for more responsive, supportive, and trusting interactions, especially in couples and family work.
The Gottman Method is based on decades of research and offers practical tools to improve communication, reduce conflict, and increase emotional intimacy. We use this approach to help couples understand each other more deeply, repair past hurts, and build a stronger foundation of friendship and respect.
