“The goal isn't to stop disagreeing. It's to disagree without losing each other.”
How I work
I'm Elena, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I've worked with couples and families for twelve years, in English and Spanish.
Most of my work draws on the Gottman Method, which gives couples practical tools for conflict and connection, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), which looks at the feelings underneath the fights.
I don't take sides. My job is to protect the relationship, and to make the room safe enough for both of you to be honest.
