Hey there, I’m Jed
I offer marriage counseling in Portland, OR for partners who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in painful relationship patterns. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the owner of Joinery Counseling. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—a short-term, research-backed approach to couples counseling that helps partners rebuild trust, improve communication, and feel emotionally close again.
In couples therapy, we’ll identify the cycles that keep you disconnected and develop new ways of responding to one another so your relationship can feel safer, more grounded, and more connected.
Services
I offer both sessions both virtually via Zoom and in-person at my office (pictured here and at the top of the page) at 917 SW Oak St. in downtown Portland, OR.

Conflict at home is incredibly common and uncommonly addressed. I practice systemic therapy, which means that I focus on how multiple relationships interact within the same family. As a former middle and high school teacher, I have ample skills in engaging children and adults alike to explore feelings, communicate compassionately, and practice new behaviors.
