Welcome to the transformative journey of emotional connection and healing in your relationship or future relationships. I'm Amy Wilhelmi, and I am an Emotionally Focused Couples, Family, and Individual Therapist. I also do EMDR and am Trauma and Attachment informed. I want to extend a warm and empathetic welcome to you and your partner as we embark on a path toward fostering deeper emotional bonds, understanding, and intimacy within your relationships.
My goal is to help you navigate the complexities and work through the challenges that may be hindering your emotional connection. Relationships can be rewarding, yet they often come with their own set of unique obstacles. It's not uncommon to encounter miscommunication, feelings of distance, or issues that can create disconnection.
My approach is rooted in the belief that emotional responsiveness and a secure emotional bond are essential for a healthy and thriving relationship. Through a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, I will guide you in exploring the emotional patterns and attachment dynamics that influence your interactions with people and with the world.
