Hey there, I am a wife and mom of three. When I'm not in the office, you will find me playing beach volleyball, gardening/composting, reading, or scrolling funny videos on Tik Tok. I take a holistic approach to counseling by considering the spiritual, physiological, and internal workings of your life. I love bringing the truths of the Bible and the wisdom of clinical counseling approaches, and pairing them together to help you in our sessions. We will work together to learn about what has led you to this place in your life and what we can do to improve the parts of your life that are negatively impacting you.

I want to help you catch your breath. I have specialized training to offer restoration and recovery for couples in crisis, and individuals in distress affected by sex addiction/abuse related issues. At Haven Counseling, you will find confidential counseling allowing you to talk safely about private, personal struggles that may seem hopeless. I have been in that place before. Research-based, proven methods can help you find a way out of what may seem like an impossible situation. It takes A LOT of courage to reach out for help, but making the call or booking the session online can change your life. It has certainly changed mine.

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.
