Everyone deserves to feel heard and validated, without fear of judgment. Using cognitive-behavioral, emotions-focused, and family systems therapies, I aim to meet you where you are for support. I utilize a family-systems and cognitive-behavioral lens to assist my clients in understanding the "why" of who they are. We will then work collaboratively to change what my clients wish to change in their lives, and accept what is necessary. I value taking a personalized approach with each of my clients, as I feel our individual uniqueness is essential to the core of ourselves.

Hi, I’m Nora— I’m so glad you’re here. It can feel isolating and, at times, even shameful to face the challenges in our life. If you're even considering therapy, I already see the courage in you. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection—with ourselves, others, and the systems we move through. My goal is to create a space that shifts away from self-blame and towards self-compassion. Whatever you choose to bring to session, I will be there to meet you with warmth, humor, and compassion. There’s no one-size-fits-all path here—we’ll co-create a space that feels safe and meaningful to you.

Many of us experience intense emotions without a rule book on how to let it move through us. At a young age, we subconsciously take on stories that stick with us and they can often manifest the way we relate to others, our internal world, and the world around us. Whether it is a story that we internalize of being too much or not enough, I want therapy to be a safe container to explore the stories that may be creating shame or holding us back from our highest potential in life. I believe that therapy can be a space to build the internal tools to be able to better communicate and express emotions.

Regular life has always felt harder than it should. Staying focused, organizing your life, reading social cues, managing emotions, or keeping up with daily demands takes constant effort, and the strain adds up. You feel misunderstood, mislabeled, and concerned that others see you as lazy, difficult, or “too much.” When important decisions, legal requirements, or critical tasks depend on answers you don’t yet have, the pressure intensifies. You want clarity on your experience, not guesses, dismissals, or quick labels. You actually want to understand what’s going on.

I specialize in treating adults who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. Working from a psychoanalytic perspective, I help people uncover unconscious patterns and gain insight on their life. Most behavioral, emotional, or cognitive struggles are tied up with each other in very complex ways which have unfolded over the course of someone's life. The work of therapy is the unraveling of these strings to reconfigure them in a more satisfying and fulfilling way.

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.
