I completed both the Externship and Core Skill training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and I am currently working toward becoming a certified EFT therapist.
Have you ever felt ‘stuck’ and helpless? Have you experienced trouble connecting with others and yourself? Or maybe, you have been feeling unwanted and unlovable? I believe that we all reflect the cumulative impact of our past experiences and the experiences of generations before us. The way we approach challenges and relate to others and ourselves is inherently shaped by dynamics we experience within the society and families of origin we come from. Adverse experiences and traumas are a fact of life. It is the way we react to them determines the quality of life we live.

I believe in tailoring my approach to each individual's or couple's unique needs and goals, which is why I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and narrative therapy based on the work of Dan Allender.
Having a hard time with life’s hurts? Getting stuck in a cycle or hung up and can’t seem to get past something? Sometimes it feels like it’s all you can do to survive, and when that happens you don’t feel like you have the ability to deal with the deeper issues that are leading to your struggles. Counseling is a place where you can carve out that time to do the work that will change your life in deep and long lasting ways. I understand that reaching out for counseling can be a difficult and vulnerable step, and so I'm committed to creating a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their thoughts and emotions.

Emotionally Focused Therapists

Who is emotionally focused therapy for?

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.

Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?

People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.

What happens in emotionally focused therapy?

Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.

What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?

EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
