Couples Therapy

Reconnecting, Communicating, and Healing Together

At Elevate PD & Therapy Corp in Fernandina Beach, Florida, I help couples navigate disconnection, conflict, and stress with honesty, empathy, and practical tools. Whether you’re stuck in the same argument on repeat or just feeling like roommates instead of partners, therapy can help you rebuild connection and communicate in ways that actually bring you closer.

My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative — we’ll look at what’s really happening beneath the surface instead of just focusing on who’s “right” or “wrong.” Together, we’ll untangle the patterns that keep you stuck and replace them with new ways to listen, respond, and grow as a team.

Why Couples Seek Therapy

Every relationship has stress points — therapy is about learning to navigate them, not pretending they don’t exist. Couples often come to therapy when they notice:

• Communication that feels tense, defensive, or distant

• Constant arguments that never seem to resolve

• Loss of emotional or physical intimacy

• Infidelity, broken trust, or resentment

• Parenting conflicts or different priorities

• Feeling unheard, unseen, or unappreciated

• Preparing for marriage or major life transitions

You don’t have to wait until things are falling apart to get help. Many couples use therapy proactively — to strengthen connection, improve communication, and keep the relationship healthy.

My Approach

Couples therapy with me is grounded in emotionally focused, relational, and skills-based approaches. I draw from Gottman Method principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help partners understand the deeper emotions driving conflict and learn tools to repair and reconnect.

Sessions are structured but conversational. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and how both partners can feel heard, valued, and supported again. You’ll leave each session with insights and practical strategies to use between meetings — not just “homework,” but real tools that fit your lives.

You can expect therapy that’s:

• Balanced and fair — no taking sides

• Respectful and supportive — even during conflict

• Action-focused — real tools, not vague advice

• Customized — designed for your unique relationship dynamics

Common Goals in Couples Therapy

Couples often come to therapy to:

• Improve communication and reduce defensiveness

• Rebuild trust and heal from betrayal

• Deepen emotional and physical intimacy

• Navigate parenting challenges and blended families

• Strengthen connection and teamwork

• Find common ground around money, values, or goals

• Rekindle closeness after life stress, burnout, or trauma

Whatever brings you in, therapy is a chance to slow down, listen differently, and rediscover what made you choose each other in the first place.

What to Expect

During the first session, we’ll explore your relationship story — what drew you together, what’s been hard, and what you both want to change. From there, we’ll set goals that feel realistic and meaningful.

Couples therapy isn’t about assigning blame — it’s about learning to understand each other’s emotions, triggers, and needs in a new way. I’ll guide the process, helping you both communicate openly, manage conflict productively, and build trust again.

Sessions are available in person at my Fernandina Beach office or online throughout Florida, making it easy to access support that fits your schedule and comfort level.

When to Reach Out

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, unheard, or like everything turns into a fight, therapy can help you find your way back to each other. Relationships take work, but they don’t have to feel like constant work. You can rebuild connection, trust, and understanding — one conversation at a time.

Getting Started

If you’re ready to stop having the same argument and start feeling like a team again, let’s talk. Whether you’ve been together for six months or twenty years, couples therapy can help you reconnect and strengthen your relationship.
