I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, and I also understand that it can be incredibly difficult or intimidating to reach out. But, you did it! You’re here. No matter the circumstance, you will be met with empathy, compassion, and understanding. My work is primarily rooted in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (
EFT
), whether that is
EFT
for Individuals (EFIT),
EFT
for Couples (EFCT), or
EFT
for Families (EFFT), and attachment theory. I also frequently incorporate evidence-based parent coaching strategies when working with families and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with individuals.

In a world where you are expected to go through life perfectly, it can feel cumbersome when you are not doing that so well. Recent world events have made it more challenging to effectively navigate through some of our lowest moments and achieve greatness in relationships, careers, parenthood, or within ourselves. When everyday stressors turn into overwhelming struggles, those struggles have the potential to affect many areas of your life. You may start to experience strong emotions, distorted thoughts, negative behaviors, and destructive beliefs that could potentially become unmanageable and negatively impact your life.

I have tremendous respect for the courage it takes to share sensitive aspects of your life. Everyone has unique circumstances so I take time to get to know you personally, your strengths, limitations, and customize treatment accordingly. I don't take a cookie-cutter approach to helping you. Each session, we set an agenda, review improvements, and work as a team to focus on your treatment goals. My therapeutic work is evidence-based, informed by research, and together we will track your changes to assess your progress toward treatment goals.

Hello! Are you tired of surviving, and ready to thrive? I specialize in working with clients who have a parent or partner with narcissistic traits. If you've been surviving for years, or decades, it can be hard to believe, but you can heal from narcissistic trauma, and create the life you deserve! Let's talk about how attachment therapy and
emotionally focused
therapy can help you see yourself positively and love yourself unconditionally. If you don't remember your traumatic memories, or it's hard to find words, that's not a problem. We'll use art therapy, sandtray therapy, parts therapy, or tapping so you can heal from trauma.

My primary modalities are EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy (
EFT
), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Our everyday reactions are a representation of our trauma, pain, and learned behaviors. Every trigger is wired to an emotional experience that we have programmed into our brains as a guide to protecting ourselves. We then use these experiences to reinforce behaviors and keep us safe from reliving past pain. Problems occur when our circumstances change, but we do not adapt our beliefs, insecurities, and negative self-messages along with them. Reprocessing emotional experiences, altering coping mechanisms, and developing an understanding of your needs is an important part in healing.

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.
