I utilize different evidence-based modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Life can be quite a journey, filled with moments that can be stressful and challenging. Navigating these challenges alone can often feel isolating and hopeless. You may find it difficult at times to manage the many roles that you play in your life along with finding time to prioritize your own well-being. Along with these life difficulties, it can be challenging to reach out for help and seek therapy. I strive to provide a warm, affirming, and supportive environment. I work collaboratively with you in fostering growth and helping you recognize your own strengths and internal resources.

I also have training as an Emotionally Focused Therapist to help couples reconnect and overcome areas of conflict, including infidelity, toxic communication and/or past hurts.
I work with couples who feel disconnected from their partner and want to not only improve their communication but also reestablish their relationship as a secure place to turn to. I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma and would benefit from learning how to relax their bodies and change their perceptions, especially in the context of a perceived threat.

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.
