I get it, because I've been there. I was diagnosed with an eating disorder, major depression, and generalized anxiety right out of high school. I had no idea what was happening and quickly fell into some of the darkest spaces of my life. I floundered around wondering "what's the point?" and relied heavily on unhealthy coping mechanisms to make it worth waking up each day. Today, I use my experiences to help others.

Life can be incredibly overwhelming, and having to manage it alone makes it that much harder. There are times we all just need someone to talk to. I believe therapy works because of the relationship between the therapist and the client. My goal is to be someone who stands with you when life is overwhelming, and stays with you till you come out the other side. I am passionate about providing support, truth, and a peaceful place for my clients when the rest of the world feels chaotic.

Welcome! I'd like to commend you for taking this first step to improving your mental health, development, and/or relationship(s). The decision to attend counseling is not always easy to make, and it can also be difficult to find a therapist that is right for you. Research shows that the counseling relationship is the biggest determining factor of whether or not therapy will be successful, so it's crucial to find someone you can click with and build a connection with. I hope I can be that person for you and help you feel supported, cared for, and empowered to make any changes you'd like to make in your life.

Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

A favorite saying of mine is "CHANGE... It's One of Life's Only Constants..." Change often signifies growth. Changes often move us from our comfort zone and may trigger stressful or distressing thoughts, behaviors, emotions or physiological responses. Our responses are often unconscious. Except we consciously recognize increased discomfort, pain or unproductive functioning in our daily roles and relationships. If you or a family member are experiencing any social, emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties causing distress & preventing enjoying life or realizing your or their full potential in personal, work or school functioning, I invite you to call me.

Life does not always go the way we plan it. Sometimes life can hit hard and, at times, it can feel overwhelming. Occasionally, we may find ourselves in a challenging life transition, struggling to adjust to a new marriage or marriage difficulties, a new baby, a blended family, or an empty nest, a job promotion or loss, retirement, or the loss of a loved one. At other times in life, we may find ourselves stuck in unproductive and negative patterns, looking for solutions.

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.
