Welcome to the Individual and Relationship Therapy Center!
We are Emotionally Focused Therapists (EFT) who specialize in relationship counseling, couples counseling, individual therapy, and family therapy in Denver, CO. As EFT therapists, we believe that we are all wired for emotional connection. From the time we are born, we seek out emotional connection with others, and this need for connection continues throughout our lives. However, when we experience stress, trauma, or other challenges, our ability to connect emotionally can become compromised. This can lead to feelings of isolation, disconnection, and even depression and anxiety. At the Individual and Relationship Therapy Center, we are dedicated to helping people just like you (re)discover the joy in their life and in their relationship(s).
We welcome individuals, couples and relationships of all types, backgrounds and orientations and provide a safe and inclusive environment for all of our clients.
When you are with us, you WILL feel heard and understood, and we help you find your way (back) to the life and relationship you want!

Our Therapy Center
It takes the right setting to be vulnerable enough for change.
“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.”
