Holly Sayer, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor

I specialize in helping couples who care deeply about their relationship but find themselves having the same fight over and over again. I’ll help you understand your cycle and find ways to get unstuck. Together, you can build a relationship that feels secure and safe. I use emotionally focused therapy (EFT), a well-researched, evidence-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners move from conflict and disconnection toward a stronger, more secure emotional bond. Rather than focusing only on surface-level communication skills, EFT looks at the deeper emotions and attachment needs that shape how couples interact. Many partners find themselves stuck in repetitive cycles, one pursuing and the other withdrawing, without fully understanding why those patterns keep happening. In EFT, we work together to slow down these moments and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. You’ll begin to understand your relationship patterns in a new way, recognizing how both partners are affected and how each of you is trying to cope. As those deeper emotions become clearer, sessions focus on helping you express them in ways that create connection rather than conflict. This process helps partners feel more seen, heard, and understood. Over time, couples can shift out of painful, reactive cycles and build a more secure, supportive relationship. EFT has been shown to be highly effective in helping couples strengthen trust, improve emotional intimacy, and create lasting change. The goal is not just to reduce conflict, but to help you feel more connected, safe, and supported in your relationship.
