Have you been anxious, sad, and overwhelmed a lot lately? Do you feel distant and disconnected from your partner? Have you been fighting more? Is your relationship missing warmth, trust, and intimacy? If you answered yes to these questions it's time to get help. Life brings us many challenges that are sometimes too much to handle alone. You don't have to struggle on your own. I can help you get unstuck from frustrating outworn patterns and create the loving relationship and secure connections you long for. Get the help you need to overcome these difficulties and turn them into opportunities for growth, happiness and healing.
I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, an approach with the highest success rates in couples therapy. EFT is based on the research of Dr. Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight and Love Sense. My work weaves together the latest research in attachment, neuroscience, and learning, with ancient wisdom. Also trained in EMDR.
I believe a safe environment and a compassionate understanding presence, free of judgement is the base from which we are able to slow down, reflect, explore, and grow. With over 45 years of training and practice, and my continued commitment to learning and growth, I have the knowledge, experience, wisdom, and heart to support you.
