Helping Couples Understand and Repair the Patterns That Shape Their Relationships
Healthy relationships are not simply the result of good communication. They are shaped by deeper emotional patterns, attachment dynamics, and the ways partners respond during moments of conflict, vulnerability, and trust.
Through her clinical work, teaching, and research-informed approach to relationships, Carly helps couples identify the patterns shaping their relationship and develop the insight and skills needed to rebuild connection, repair trust, and create more secure and fulfilling partnerships.
Couples THERAPY
Couples often come to therapy when they feel stuck repeating the same painful conflicts, struggling to reconnect emotionally, or trying to rebuild trust after a betrayal. Couples therapy provides a structured space to slow down these patterns, understand what is happening beneath the surface of conflict, and begin rebuilding connection.
Carly integrates two of the most well-researched approaches to couples therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method Couple Therapy, to help partners better understand the emotional and relational patterns shaping their relationship. Rather than simply learning communication techniques, couples work to repair trust, strengthen emotional safety, and develop new ways of responding to one another during moments of conflict and vulnerability.
Research on Emotionally Focused Therapy shows that many couples are able to move from distress toward greater understanding, reconnection, and relationship recovery through this process.
Whether you are hoping to end destructive arguing, rebuild trust after an affair, or understand the deeper patterns that keep your relationship stuck, couples counseling can help you and your partner create a more secure, honest, and fulfilling partnership.

Therapy Intensives
When AN HOUR a week ISn’t enough.
Sometimes a relationship reaches a point where waiting another week for the next therapy session feels impossible.
Maybe you've just discovered an affair or betrayal. Maybe you're having the same painful fights over and over and can't seem to stop the cycle. Maybe one or both of you are questioning whether the relationship can continue. Or maybe you've been struggling for a long time and are ready to make more meaningful progress.
Therapy Intensives offer extended blocks of focused therapy when your relationship needs more time and space than a traditional weekly session can provide.
Rather than trying to squeeze difficult conversations into a single appointment, intensives allow us to slow things down, understand what's happening underneath the conflict, work through important conversations, and develop a clearer path forward.
HALF-DAY Intensive
Two 80-minute therapy sessions with a short break between sessions.
A Half-Day Intensive is ideal when there is a specific issue that needs more room than a traditional session allows, such as a recent betrayal discovery, or navigating an immediate, important decision.
Full-Day Intensive
Four 80-minute therapy sessions with breaks throughout the day, including a one-hour lunch break.
A Full-Day Intensive provides more time for deeper therapeutic work and can be especially helpful when your relationship is in crisis, you're dealing with multiple layers of hurt or conflict, or you want dedicated time to understand longstanding patterns and begin changing them immediately.
An Intensive May Be a Good Fit If You're:
Reeling from the discovery of an affair, betrayal, or significant secret and unsure what happens next.
Caught in increasingly painful or hostile arguments that neither of you knows how to stop.
Considering separation or divorce and wanting space to thoughtfully explore what you each want.
Stuck in the same relationship patterns despite repeatedly trying to change them.
Wanting to make meaningful progress more quickly than weekly sessions currently allow.
What Happens During an Intensive?
Every intensive is tailored to the individual or couple and what is happening in the relationship.
Our work may include identifying recurring relationship patterns, slowing down difficult conversations, processing betrayal or relational injuries, rebuilding emotional safety and trust, exploring the deeper emotions underneath conflict, clarifying boundaries and expectations, and developing practical strategies for moving forward.

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy can be a powerful space to better understand yourself, your relationship patterns, and the experiences that shape how you show up in intimate relationships.
Many people seek individual therapy when they are navigating relationship challenges, recovering from betrayal, healing from past relational trauma, or trying to make sense of difficult decisions about the future of a relationship. Through thoughtful exploration and guided reflection, individual counseling can help you develop greater self-understanding, strengthen emotional resilience, and clarify the kind of relationships you want to build in your life.
This work often focuses on identifying recurring relational patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and emotional security.
