Couples Therapy

Amanda is also qualified to work with Couples. With a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, Amanda uses a blend of evidence-based approaches, including the Gottman Method and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), to help couples strengthen their relationships and navigate challenges. The Gottman Method provides a highly practical, research-backed framework for building a thriving relationship, and one of Amanda’s standout techniques is her comprehensive assessment process. She begins by meeting with both partners together, then individually, and has couples complete a detailed questionnaire. This process gives her a deep understanding of your strengths as a couple and identifies areas for growth.

Using the Gottman Method, Amanda helps couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and create stronger emotional bonds. This approach is particularly valuable for couples facing significant challenges, including the aftermath of an affair or other trust ruptures. Alongside this, Amanda’s use of Emotion-Focused Therapy allows couples to explore their emotional “dance” and understand how they can relate more meaningfully to one another. By combining these approaches, Amanda provides couples with practical tools to communicate more effectively, along with deeper insights into the emotional patterns that shape their relationship.

Amanda is dedicated not only to healing ruptures but also to equipping couples with the tools to sustain a strong, resilient bond over time. She welcomes couples from all backgrounds and life stages, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel valued and supported on their journey toward a healthier, more connected partnership.
