About Me

I’m Jennifer Knopf, a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate (MFT-C) based in Colorado. I work with couples who feel stuck in ongoing conflict, growing distance, or the feeling that the relationship isn’t what it used to be.

Most couples I see aren’t struggling because they don’t care. They’re struggling because they’ve gotten into the habit of responding to each other in ways that no longer work. Over time, these patterns can leave you both feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or alone.

When we work together, I help you notice the moments where things go the wrong direction. When a conversation escalates, when one of you shuts down, or when tension builds quickly. These moments often point to something deeper going on in the relationship that hasn’t yet been addressed. Rather than staying on the surface of the argument, we slow things down and look at what’s happening underneath, so you can begin to respond to each other with more clarity and less reactivity.

I use a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to guide this process. I don’t feel there is a one-size-fits-all “theory”, so I will tailor my approach based on your unique needs.

My own experience with counseling has given me an appreciation for how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help in a relationship. Clients often say they appreciate my honest, direct, and interactive approach, and that I show up as genuine and real in our work together.

If you’re feeling stuck but still want something to shift, therapy can offer a way to understand each other more clearly and begin relating differently.
