Support for Couples & Families

You love each other.

You're just stuck.

Most couples don't come to therapy because they've given up. They come because they haven't — but they're exhausted from having the same fight over and over, from feeling like they're speaking different languages, from the slow drift that happens when life gets busy and connection gets put last. Maybe one of you has been asking to come for a while. Maybe something specific happened. Maybe nothing dramatic happened at all, and that's somehow harder to explain.

Whatever brought you here, the fact that you're here together says something important.

  • We use two of the most well-researched, evidence-based approaches to couples work available:


    The Gottman Method

    Developed over decades of research on what actually makes relationships work, the Gottman Method gives couples concrete tools to communicate better, repair more effectively after conflict, and deepen friendship and intimacy. Your therapist is trained in both Gottman Level 1 and Level 2, which means she can work with couples at all stages — from those managing ongoing conflict to those rebuilding trust after a significant rupture.

    Gottman work looks at the specific patterns in your relationship — the ways you pursue and withdraw, the things that escalate conflict, and the repair attempts that aren't landing — and gives you something real to work with instead of just talking about your feelings in circles.


    Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

    EFT goes a level deeper, working with the attachment needs and emotional patterns underneath the conflict. Most relationship fights aren't really about the dishes or the finances — they're about feeling unseen, unsafe, or unimportant to the person who matters most to you. EFT helps couples identify those underlying emotional cycles, understand what each partner is actually trying to get across, and create new patterns of connection that feel more secure.

    Together, these two approaches give us both the tools and the emotional depth to do meaningful work — regardless of where your relationship is right now.

    • Communication breakdowns and recurring conflict

    • Emotional distance or feeling like roommates

    • Rebuilding trust after infidelity or betrayal

    • Navigating major life transitions together (new baby, job changes, loss, illness)

    • Differences in how you each handle stress, emotion, or conflict

    • Intimacy concerns — emotional or physical

    • Considering separation and wanting to make a thoughtful decision

    • Neurodivergent partnerships — when one or both partners are ADHD, autistic, or both

  • Relationships where one or both partners are neurodivergent come with their own specific dynamics — differences in communication styles, sensory needs, executive function, and emotional processing that can create friction even in deeply loving partnerships. Our therapist understands neurodivergence and brings that awareness into couples work, which means you won't spend your sessions explaining why ADHD isn't 'just an excuse' or why sensory overload is a real thing.

  • We work with adult couples 18+ in all relationship configurations — married, partnered, dating, LGBTQ+, and non-traditional relationship structures. We see couples in person at our Green Bay and Appleton offices, and via telehealth anywhere in Wisconsin.
