​Why choose a Couple’s Emotional Reconnection Journey?

 

A relational root requires a relational solution. Over the years, I have seen how relationship challenges rarely resolve themselves when left unaddressed. Instead, they often seep into every aspect of life, impacting emotional stability, concentration, physical health, motivation, and self-worth.

 

For neurodivergent partners especially, this strain can amplify overwhelm, shutdown, rejection sensitivity, emotional flooding, or defensive withdrawal. 

​​

The Couple's Emotional Reconnection Journey is grounded in the understanding that emotional safety must come before practical problem-solving. Rather than focusing only on surface behaviors or communication techniques, we first work to strengthen the emotional bond between partners, creating a secure foundation from which solutions can naturally emerge.

​

This approach is especially vital for neurodiverse couples, where misunderstandings often arise not from lack of care, but from differently regulated nervous systems interpreting threat, closeness, or rejection in divergent ways.

​

My work is deeply informed by Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) alongside Solution-Focused Therapy, combining emotional depth with structured, forward-moving change. Together, we cultivate a relationship that feels emotionally safe, stable, and supportive - a space where both partners can feel seen, heard, and connected.

​

The aim is not perfection, but partnership: learning to face challenges together rather than against each other.​

​

Who the Couple’s Emotional Reconnection Journey is for:

 

I support neurodiverse couples who experience challenges such as emotional disconnection or recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, trust issues or attachment wounds, emotional reactivity or shutdown patterns, rejection sensitivity and misattunement, and more.

 

While neurotypical couples also experience relational strain, neurodiverse couples often face amplified emotional and regulatory challenges that require a more specialized, attuned approach.

​

I tailor my work to each couple’s unique dynamic, drawing from a combination of evidence-based methods including:

- Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)

- Solution-Focused Therapy

- Internal Family Systems-informed work

- EMDR-informed trauma processing

- Somatic awareness and nervous system regulation tools

- Mindfulness and body-based practices

 

Through this integrative framework, couples learn to recognize their patterns and soften defensive responses, but first and foremost to rebuild their emotional connection - not by forcing change, but through creating the safe space needed for true transformation.
