Couples Therapy in Draper, UT
You love each other. So why does it keep feeling like this?
You’re here because you care, and something has shifted. Conversations that used to flow now feel loaded. You’re sleeping in the same bed but living in parallel. You’ve tried talking about it and ended up further apart.

Most couples who come to us aren’t in crisis. They’re good at life: careers, kids, responsibilities. Somewhere along the way, they got lost in it.
You’ve probably already tried:
- Having the conversation, more than once
- Reading the books, listening to the podcasts
- Learning your attachment style
And you’re still having the same fight. That’s not a failure of effort. It’s a signal: what’s underneath matters more than the argument itself.
How we work
We use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), one of the most well-researched approaches in couples work. It gets underneath the patterns to what’s driving them: unmet attachment needs, feeling unseen, feeling alone even with someone you love.
Not communication scripts. Not fair-fighting rules. Real understanding, and a way back to each other.
Sessions are real. We ask how you’re feeling because we want to know, not to check a box. We move at your pace.
Who we work with
We work best with couples who:
- Care deeply about their relationship and are ready to do something about it
- Feel disconnected, like roommates or strangers who used to know each other
- Have tried talking it out and keep ending up in the same place
- Want real work, not just a space to vent
- Are looking for a therapist who can keep up with them
We also work with neurodivergent couples (ADHD, autism, or both, sometimes called AuDHD) navigating connection across different ways of processing the world. Most couples therapists aren’t equipped for that layer of disconnection. We are.
What this can look like
For neurodivergent couples, feeling unseen or alone often shows up as differences that get mistaken for not caring:
- One partner needs quiet to regulate; the other reads that as pulling away
- Direct communication from one partner lands as harsh to the other
- Sensory needs (noise, touch, routine) get mistaken for rejection or control
- Executive functioning differences turn into “you don’t care” instead of “your brain works differently”
- Years of masking exhaust the relationship as much as the person
Divorce, co-parenting & blended families
Not every relationship we work with is headed toward staying together, and that’s okay. We also support divorce, co-parenting, and blended family dynamics. The same skills that help couples reconnect (communication, attachment awareness, working through old patterns) matter just as much when a relationship is ending or reshaping.
Danielle specializes in this work, bringing both professional training and personal experience as a stepmom to family transitions of every kind.
