Couples & Relationship Therapy — Online Therapy in Colorado

Are you and your partner stuck in the same painful patterns — arguments that go nowhere, emotional distance that keeps growing, or a sense that you've lost the closeness you once had?

For the past six years, I've offered couples counseling and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for adults throughout Colorado via secure telehealth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in attachment science. The goal is simple: help you feel safer, more connected, and better able to reach for each other when it matters most.

Whether you're searching for couples therapy in Colorado Springs, marriage counseling in Denver, or online relationship support anywhere in the state, you're in the right place.

Is Couples Therapy a Good Fit Right Now?

Many couples come to therapy when they notice:

The same arguments keep repeating without resolution
Emotional distance or loneliness inside the relationship
Criticism, defensiveness, or shutdown
Unresolved hurt, resentment, or broken trust
Difficulty expressing needs or feeling truly heard
A sense that you're "roommates" more than partners

These struggles usually aren't about a lack of love. They're about the ways we protect ourselves when we feel disconnected or unsafe. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy helps you change those patterns at the root.

My Approach: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — one of the most researched and effective approaches to couples counseling available today.

EFT is grounded in attachment theory. It focuses on the emotional bond between partners rather than simply teaching communication skills. Together we:

Identify the negative cycle that keeps you stuck
Access the deeper emotions and needs underneath conflict
Create new, safer ways of reaching for each other
Rebuild trust and emotional security

I have completed EFT Core Skills Training and an Externship (over 50 hours of specialized training), and have spent the past six years applying this work with couples throughout Colorado. Sessions are structured so both partners feel supported — I don't take sides. The work is emotionally focused without being overwhelming, and we move at a pace that feels manageable. Learn more about my background and approach.

If you're specifically looking for EFT couples therapy in Colorado or an Emotionally Focused therapist who works online, this approach may be a strong fit.

What Sessions Are Like

Sessions are calm, respectful, and guided. You'll both have space to speak and be heard. I help slow things down when conversations start to escalate so you can stay connected even when the topics are hard.

Many couples notice that once they understand the cycle they're caught in, they begin responding to each other differently — with more softness, curiosity, and care.

Online Couples Counseling Throughout Colorado

All sessions are offered via secure telehealth. This means you and your partner can meet from the comfort of home anywhere in Colorado — whether you're in Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Boulder, or a smaller community. See all the areas I serve across Colorado.

No commute. No waiting room. Just focused, private support for your relationship.

A Note About Safety

If there is current domestic violence, coercion, or ongoing emotional abuse in the relationship, couples therapy is generally not appropriate. In those situations, individual support is the safer and more helpful next step. Your wellbeing comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Couples & Relationship Therapy

We've tried couples therapy before and it didn't help. Why would this be different?That's a common and understandable concern — a lot of couples therapy focuses on communication techniques or conflict rules without addressing what's actually driving the disconnection underneath. My approach is grounded in EFT, which I've completed specialized Core Skills and Externship training in. Instead of just teaching "fair fighting" rules, EFT focuses on the emotional bond between you — identifying the cycle that keeps you stuck and helping you reach for each other in new, safer ways.

What if only one of us wants to go to therapy?This is more common than you'd think, and it's okay to start there. What matters most is a genuine willingness to show up and participate once you're both in the room.

Is it too late for us? We feel like roommates more than partners.Feeling disconnected doesn't mean the relationship can't be repaired. Many couples come to therapy at exactly this point, and EFT specifically focuses on rebuilding emotional connection and responsiveness.

Is couples therapy appropriate if there's been infidelity or a major breach of trust?Yes — this is one of the more common reasons couples reach out. The work focuses on understanding what happened, processing the impact on both partners, and rebuilding trust at a pace that feels manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Couples & Relationship Therapy

We've tried couples therapy before and it didn't help. Why would this be different?

We've tried couples therapy before and it didn't help. Why would this be different? That's a common and understandable concern — a lot of couples therapy focuses on communication techniques or conflict rules without addressing what's actually driving the disconnection underneath. My approach is grounded in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), which I've completed specialized Core Skills and Externship training in. Instead of just teaching "fair fighting" rules, EFT focuses on the emotional bond between you — identifying the cycle that keeps you stuck and helping you reach for each other in new, safer ways. If a previous experience felt surface-level or like it was picking a side, this is a different kind of work.

Will you take sides or tell us who's "right"? No. My role isn't to determine who's right or assign blame — it's to help both of you feel safe, heard, and understood, and to slow down the cycle that keeps you stuck. Most recurring conflict isn't really about who's right. It's about protective patterns each partner falls into when they feel disconnected or unsafe. We work to understand those patterns together, not to declare a winner.

What if only one of us wants to go to therapy? This is more common than you'd think, and it's okay to start there. Sometimes one partner is more ready or more comfortable with the idea, and that's a normal starting point rather than a problem. What matters most is a genuine willingness to show up and participate once you're both in the room — we can talk early on about any hesitation either of you is feeling.

Is it too late for us? We feel like roommates more than partners. Feeling disconnected — even feeling like you've drifted into a "roommate" dynamic — doesn't mean the relationship can't be repaired. Many couples come to therapy at exactly this point. EFT specifically focuses on rebuilding emotional connection and responsiveness, which is often what's missing when a relationship starts to feel more functional than close. It's rarely too late to understand the cycle and begin shifting it.

Can online (telehealth) couples therapy really work as well as in-person? Yes. Telehealth couples therapy is well-supported and works well for many partners, especially when schedules, childcare, travel, or living in different areas make in-person sessions difficult. Meeting from home can also make it easier to stay grounded and speak honestly, since you're both in a familiar, private space rather than an unfamiliar office. Learn more about how telehealth sessions work.

Is couples therapy appropriate if there's been infidelity or a major breach of trust? Yes, couples therapy can be a valuable space to work through infidelity or trust injuries — this is actually one of the more common reasons couples reach out. The work focuses on understanding what happened, processing the impact on both partners, and rebuilding safety and trust at a pace that feels manageable. If there is current abuse, coercion, or safety concerns rather than a past breach of trust, individual support is generally the safer starting point instead.
