COUPLES therapy in-person in cleveland and online across Ohio
You did everything right. And still ended up lost.
You keep having the same fight but deep down you know it’s never really about the dishes. The distance between you keeps growing and you can’t figure out how it got this far. Somedays you reach out, other days you don’t even know how to start. Because life got loud and somewhere along the way, you ended up further apart than you ever thought possible.
maybe you…
Want to fix things but don’t know how
You just want things to go back to normal, but you're starting to wonder if that's even possible.
Are shutting down because it’s easier than another fight
You've shut down because it feels safer than saying the wrong thing again. Every conversation feels like stepping on landmines.
Feel exhausted from trying to hold it together for everyone else
You're tired of the constant tension and feeling that you're failing as a partner. You want to stop feeling like roommates going through the motions.
Hi, I’M chris.
Together we’ll get to the bottom of what’s actually happening between you and your partner so you can rediscover what brought you together in the first place.
When couples first call me, they often feel like roommates or adversaries rather than partners.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help them understand what's really happening beneath their conflicts and guide them back to being each other's person again. Together we’ll chart a clear course from where you are to where you want to be.

When arguments keep circling back to the same painful places, it's not about better communication skills—it's about unmet emotional needs beneath the surface. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help couples understand the deeper fears and longings driving their conflicts, creating secure attachment where both partners feel seen, valued, and emotionally safe.
-
We look at the patterns you inherited — how your family handled closeness, conflict, and emotion — and we trace how those patterns followed you into your adult relationships. Learn how to show up in your relationships without armor, without performing, and without the exhaustion of managing everyone else's emotions.
-
You don’t have to stay trapped between staying and leaving, or keep questioning every word and action. It’s possible to feel less on edge all the time and be able to speak up about your needs. We'll establish clear agreements about communication, technology, social interactions, and other areas where trust needs to be rebuilt.
Here’s how I can help:
Getting started is easier than you think.
