In addition, I have a particular interest in working with couples and have specialized training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy).
If you are feeling sad, anxious, or simply unhappy, you are definitely not alone. My philosophy is that people do the best they can with what they have, but sometimes anxiety, stress, grief, depression and relationship issues can contribute to our feeling stuck. My genuine belief is that change is always possible and begins with being motivated to do something different. My approach is both collaborative and supportive and will help you explore the changes you'd like to make in order to live a more meaningful and purposeful life.

With training in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, I can help you and your partner identify challenges, practice skills and reconnect with one another.
Raising well adjusted children and keeping your marriage healthy and strong is more challenging than most people expect. In our fast moving and highly competitive environment, it can be extremely challenging to maintain healthy self esteem, strong connections and perspective. Sometimes we feel lost, disconnected and alone. When life hurts, it is possible to turn our conflicts into opportunities for connection. Allow me to help you identify and break the negative patterns that are threatening your relationships.

It’s been tough. You are struggling and have tried everything from meditation to herbal supplements, yet you still can’t get past that barrier to your happiness. You may have even tried therapy and although it helped, it still didn’t completely do it for you. Now what? You are not broken. Often, the general focus in treatment has been on feeling good rather than being good. It is exactly what we are taught since day one. If you are willing to break out of this cycle, we will work together to build your holistic resilience.

I'm of the mindset that everyone can benefit from therapy. Each of us has unique worries and concerns that we 1) don't want to burden our friends and family with or 2) can't imagine anyone listening to without judgment. Therefore, choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to is essential. The only way to truly benefit from therapy is to start off feeling understood, respected, and valued. With specific goals in mind I work with clients to explore their current situation from all angles - their history, current functioning, underlying feelings, and strategies/skills to achieve the change they desire.

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.
