What is your approach to couples counseling?

Collaborative, practical, and evidence-informed. Phil often draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy to improve communication and rebuild connection.

How long does couples counseling take?

The length of counseling depends on your goals and the challenges you’re facing. Some couples benefit from a handful of sessions, while others prefer longer-term support to create lasting change. We’ll discuss your needs and set a pace that works for both of you.

Do we need to come to counseling together every time?

Most sessions are done together, since the goal is to strengthen your connection as a couple. However, there may be times when individual check-ins are helpful to support the overall process. We’ll decide together what works best for your situation.

What happens during a typical couples counseling session?

Sessions are a safe space for both partners to share openly and be heard. We’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and learn new ways of connecting. I’ll guide you with tools, insight, and structure so that each session feels productive and meaningful.

What issues can couples counseling address?

I work with couples around communication struggles, conflict resolution, intimacy and trust, navigating life transitions, and rebuilding after challenges such as infidelity. Together, we’ll focus on creating a stronger, more supportive relationship.

How do we know if couples counseling is right for us?

Couples counseling can help at any stage of a relationship — whether you’re struggling with conflict, feeling disconnected, healing from betrayal, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond. If you’re ready to work toward a healthier, more connected partnership, counseling can help.
