Heal the cycle. Restore connection.
If you find yourselves having the same fight over and over again, you're not alone. Often, couples become caught in cycles that leave both partners feeling hurt, misunderstood, and disconnected. In Emotionally Focused couples counseling we can identify these patterns, strengthen emotional bonds, and build the kind of connection that supports lasting change. The cycle can change, and your relationship can feel different.

Find a way back to the one you love most.
This might sound familiar…
You keep finding yourselves in the same cycle—reaching for each other, but somehow ending up further apart

You miss feeling desired, connected, and close to your partner in the ways that matter most.
What if you could go from…
Dreading hard conversations and feeling tense before they even begin
feeling confident in your ability to navigate ruptures and repair
Feeling unseen and misunderstood
feeling connected, cared for and known.
Fearing the cycle of conflict in your relationship is pushing you further apart
sharing vulnerable feelings, needs, and fears without triggering defensiveness, withdrawal, or criticism
turning away from the relationship in times of distress
turning towards the relationship and experiencing it as a stable resource

Lafayette, Colorado Couples Therapist
Hi, I’m Taylor. I help people couples repair negative cycles of conflict, heal from past ruptures and betrayals including infidelity and work through life transitions. Relationships are mighty vehicles for growth, meaning and evolution, but they also evoke our deepest wounds, fears and insecurities. I am here to be your guide through the tender places in your relationship where you just get stuck.
I practice from the lens of Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy, a highly renowned and researched modality developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. Together we will look at the cycle of negative interaction that partners get into over and over again. Neither partner is viewed as “the problem.” Instead, I take the stance that deeper longings and unmet emotional needs drive the negative cycle, and as we uncover them, we build a new foundation where greater understanding and compassion for one another can emerge.
Conflict doesn’t have to drive you apart. Your relationship can be a place of safety, stability and intimacy amidst the stressors of life. Let’s stop the cycle together!

Partners come to therapy at various stages of distress. Couples counseling can be a preventative measure when a couple starts to notice harmful patterns popping up that they want to address before they do more damage. It can also be used to heal longstanding patterns of disconnection, resolve past hurts, infidelity and work through life transitions including the transition to moving in together, marriage, illness, kids or changes in the relationship’s structure. Some other common reasons to come to therapy include:
You want to deepen the relationship and strengthen your communication
Resentment has built between you and it’s becoming difficult to move past
One or both partners has experienced past trauma that impacts the relationship
Emotional of physical intimacy has decreased
Trust has been damaged through secrecy, broken agreements or infidelity

The first few sessions will focus on getting to know your relationship’s history and what brings you in as well as learning more about your and your partner’s past experiences of attachment, intimacy and closeness. As we work together, we will map out the cycle of disconnection that arises between you, interrupt the cycle as it shows up in session and practice new ways of sharing feelings and needs that allow your partner to hear you and respond.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach that helps couples break free from harmful cycles of conflict. EFT is an experiential model and rather than solely focusing on developing communication skills or problem solving, it focuses on creating new experiences of safety, connection and responsiveness in session. EFT takes the stance that most arguments are not just about the surface level details, but about deeper longings and unmet attachment needs. If you would like to get a taste of what Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy is like, I recommend reading Hold Me Tight by Dr. Sue Johnson.

I am considered an out of network mental health provider.
I am happy to provide a superbill for you to send to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance company about your out of network benefits, as many plans cover a portion of the session cost.
Why work with an out of network provider?
Working outside the bounds of insurance allows me to focus on what is best for you, not what is best for insurance companies. No required diagnoses, no surprise billing issues or lapses in care and no limitations to the number of sessions. I can fully protect your confidentiality without needing share diagnoses or treatment plans with insurance companies and the time that would otherwise be spent managing insurance claims gets reinvested directly back into focusing on your care.
