Couples Therapy
In person + virtual therapy in Washington state
You keep having the same fight. And you’re both exhausted.
Something keeps getting in the way of feeling close. You’ve tried everything you can think of but you still feel stuck.
You don’t need to do this alone anymore. I’m here to help.
I’m Sydni (she/her)
I’m a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming couples therapist providing therapy services in WA state.
I’ve seen couples from all kinds of backgrounds go from constant arguing, periods of withdrawal, and ongoing tension to laughing together again and finding ease in day to day life. And even crying tears of joy and relief from finally feeling truly known by each other.
I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT or EFCT) —one of the most researched approaches to couples work available, grounded in decades of attachment science. In our work together, you won’t just learn new communication tools. You’ll understand what’s actually happening between you, and find your way back to each other.
“To be human is to need others, and this is no flaw or weakness.”
Emotionally Focused Therapy
An evidenced-based treatment approach utilizing attachment science. It results in lasting changes for couples seeking to improve their relationship.
Gottman Research-Informed Therapy
In my work with couples, I bring a strong awareness of research on long term relationships—what makes them last, as well as common pitfalls.
Experiential Approach to Therapy
We can’t expect you to just magically implement communication tools—these break under pressure. Instead, you’ll learn how to work with blocks and triggers in real time.
“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” - Esther Perel
I believe in this work because I’ve seen, both in my life and in the therapy room, what it means to feel truly known by another person — and how much is possible once that happens.
For couples, that question runs in both directions at once: can my partner really know me, and can I really know them? Therapy becomes the place where you practice finding out — not through advice or technique, but through the slow work of turning toward each other differently than you have before. That’s what EFT is built for: it doesn’t just help couples get through a hard week, it changes the underlying pattern that’s been driving them apart, so the relationship itself becomes a place of safety.
If any of that resonates, I’d love to connect.
