How Emma Works

Understand Your Patterns

Emma helps couples look at what happens during disagreements, what each partner needs, and why conversations can break down. The goal is to understand each other better, not to assign blame.

Prepare for Marriage

Premarital counseling gives couples a chance to talk through expectations about communication, money, family, boundaries, and commitment before getting married.

Work Through Betrayal

After infidelity or a breach of trust, partners may have different feelings and questions about what comes next. Emma helps couples talk through what happened, what each person needs, and whether they want to work toward rebuilding the relationship. Reconciliation is not assumed.

Emma draws on the Gottman Method and is certified in Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1.
