Mind Reneural leans heavily on a hybrid approach to therapy, fusing evidence-based approaches like CBT, EFT and EMDR with neurofeedback to enhance the cohesion of thought processes with action.
Are you feeling defeated by self-doubt? Anxious and over-burdened by the worries of tomorrow? Depressed because you just can't seem to make any long-lasting changes in your life? These symptoms may just be the "tip of the iceberg" and may be indicative of long-held belief systems that are manifesting after years of cultivation. Don't be discouraged. You're not alone. The human experience is riddled with challenges that can leave us feeling hopeless. We are not meant to do life alone and chances are you already know that because that's why you're here. Let's get started!

With couples I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Relationships are one of the most important parts of one’s life. Our happiness and satisfaction in life depend on the quality of our most treasured relationships. I work to help couples and individuals to find healing and recovery from trauma and loss of interest. Many couples work to find each other again with a renewed commitment, equipped with communication tools, and a greater understanding of one another. As a military spouse, I understand how life can throw a huge curve ball and impact your growth as a person and in your relationship. No matter how challenging things may seem, you will have the support to persevere.

I use the most researched and successful approach to couples therapy - Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
You feel like you’ve grown apart. It’s almost like you’re living two separate lives - and you used to be so close. Now you argue about the same things over and over again. It's so hard to communicate. It seems like you can’t ever get this person you fell in love with to hear you anymore. You never expected to feel so much pain when you first fell in love. But, you do. And you don’t want to feel it anymore. Neither of you do. You both know something has to change. And you cant wait anymore. It's time to do something.

Human beings are hard-wired for connection, which is as essential for survival as food, water, and air. When a person is deprived of that connection it creates bondage that can be crushing, robbing us of the freedom we were created to enjoy. My clinical experience includes trauma, attachment issues, adoption, parenting, marriage, family conflict, anxiety/depression, and spiritual formation.

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.
