You deserve to feel better - to enjoy this life. I provide a confidential space for active exploration, fostering alignment and wellness. Through self-reflection, we'll navigate intense feelings and symptoms, embracing new coping strategies. My approach is rooted in the understanding that emotional suffering is woven into our lives as a consequence of adverse experiences, transgenerational inheritance, and injurious cultural standards. I also support individuals through psychedelic and ketamine-assisted therapy, offering a safe, supportive environment for healing and integration. Note: I do not provide medication.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

Hello. If you are reading this, chances are very good that you are seeking to make changes in your relationship. I know how difficult it can be to share personal details with a stranger. It is my belief that every couple who seeks assistance is unique. Methods of treatment honor the individual and couple relationship. Couples therapy is not about right or wrong, but about perspective and patterns that may not be working. When we gain insight and develop communication skills that serve us we have healthier relationships. Relationship counseling is an investment in current relationships and complete health of the family.

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.
