I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, children and families enjoy and find fulfillment in their lives and relationships. The therapy I use is called Emotionally Focused Therapy. (www.ICEEFT.com). This therapy is designed to get at the root of problems by unlocking the emotions that keep us trapped. When we understand how our emotions drive our behaviors, we then experience insight and freedom, which leads us to make transformational changes in our lives. I have worked with numerous couples to bring understanding and a closer connectedness to their relationship. I also work with teens,individuals and addictions.

Are you struggling with substance use? Have you gone from partying with friends to secretly indulging in your addiction alone? Have you lost touch with the person you used to be? Are the hobbies you used to enjoy a thing of the past? Treating addiction involves two things: changing the actual substance use itself and addressing the reasons you drink or use in the first place. Most places that treat addiction treat just one or the other- but we will do both. This will give you the long term results that you're after!

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.
