I use Emotion Focused Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and compile a list of goals for treatment. We will look into your present and past experiences that drive your current patterns, as well as the quality of your relationships. Going into the emotional experience of your life will help you heal past traumas and pursue healthy connections.
