I am certified in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy ( EFT) and have advanced training in Sex Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
You got married full of hope—excited to build a life together. But now, it feels like that dream is slipping away. After years of trying, you feel lost. You’ve tried to communicate your needs, to be patient, believed it would get better—but no matter what, you both end up stuck in the same painful patterns. Maybe you feel like: “Nothing I do is ever good enough,” “They don’t appreciate me,” “I don't matter to my partner.” Or maybe there’s been a breaking point—a fight that cut too deep, a betrayal that left you in agony—and now you’re left wondering if you can ever rebuild. Something has to change, but can therapy actually help?

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted—worn down by others’ expectations, feeling isolated, hiding parts of who they are, battling addiction, or struggling with self-hatred, perfectionism, intense anxiety, or depression. I’ve been there too. I remember feeling hopeless and confused, and I know how heavy it feels to be carrying it all alone. Going to therapy helped me learn how to trust myself and find hope, so now I’m deeply passionate about helping others find their own healing and clarity.

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.
