I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trauma and attachment-focused therapist who utilizes an individualized approach, informed by Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help my clients.
With recent neurological and attachment research, we are finding how connected the mind and body really are. We are also finding how important for a person's well-being it is to understand one’s identity and how we each fit in the world. I partner with my clients to develop a felt sense of security within themselves and the world. This felt sense is what will create the necessary resiliency to ensure a person can work through struggles that have been holding them back. Much of my background involves working with the Neuro-Diverse community and the LGBTQIA+ community.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help others. Active listening, being empathetic, and showing compassion for others during tough times has always come naturally to me. I strive to bring these natural strengths, as well as the tools I have learned throughout my time as a student, to give the best possible care to each of my clients/families/couples.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to address complexity like jealousy and insecurity.
It's hard to anticipate the depths of emotion that emerge when you and perhaps a partner decide to explore consensual non-monogamy. What begins as an earnest curiosity can turn quickly into a whirlwind of confusion and insecurity. Jealousy may creep in unexpectedly, casting shadows of doubt over a once-solid foundation. It’s easy to start questioning your worth, your place in the newfound dynamic. At its worst, it becomes a vicious cycle between the desire for freedom and the fear of losing it all. If you feel lost, struggling to reconcile your heart's conflicting desires then you’re in the right place.

My training includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (Core Skills) for couples.
Maybe you’re saying, “I can’t do this anymore!” And you mean it. Can’t pretend life is okay. Can’t sleep at night. Can’t fight that awful feeling. Whatever you’re facing, I want you to have a plan for how you will get through this season and move forward. I provide a safe place for your story to be heard and understood, so you can gain perspective and learn from it. As with woodworking or planting a garden, the choice to engage in counseling stirs up dust and dirt. But it’s for the sake of creating a life that is meaningful and fruitful. Often, it’s not easy, but it is rewarding. And you don’t have to struggle alone.

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.
