More and more people are having trouble knowing who they are or where they belong in life. What we were taught growing up or what we learn from society doesn't make sense or apply any longer. Because of this, we have difficulties from depression to questioning our own belief system. It may appear as confusion, anxiety, anger, or anything that disrupts our day-to-day life. When we feel this way it is a hurt or loss that is almost impossible to describe. My type of counseling presents people with an opportunity to understand why and how they think and feel the way they do and to go deeper than they could have possibly imagined.

On the outside, it may look like you have it all together - the job, the family, the appearance. But on the inside you feel consumed by stress, anxiety, and perfectionism. You may have troubled intimate relationships, negative thoughts, and issues with eating and sleeping. Life may feel overwhelming and unfulfilling - like you can never get enough done or be "good enough." While your anxiety shows that you are someone who cares deeply, this stress can be harmful to your mind, body, and relationships in the long term. You wish for more joy, peace, and ease in your life and are ready to explore yourself more deeply to find it.

I strive to empower my clients to be their most amazing, vibrant, and truest selves. It is normal to struggle but we don't need to suffer. We're often on the right path when we feel lost. This shows us we are aware and open. We are not hard wired for change but we ARE innately predisposed to search for possibilities that support our values, goals, and dreams. I see my clients as creative, capable and whole. We live in a society that is focused on external “success” and appearance and this can create an internal chaos and disconnection from that which truly feeds the spirit. The good news is that we don’t have to live this way.

Finding a great therapist is about finding a great fit. My sweet spot is connecting with people in transition following big change; the end of a relationship, career change, adjusting to parenthood, or loss. I also have nearly a decade of experience treating eating disorders, and work with people navigating recovery in the outpatient setting. Finally, I enjoy working with caregivers- those who support loved ones who are struggling with their own mental health.

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.
