Emotionally Focused Therapy is the gold standard in couples counseling and facilitates a deeper connection with you and your partner.
Are you feeling stuck in your relationship, struggling to communicate, or longing for a deeper connection with your partner? Maybe you’ve grown up with emotionally immature parents, leaving you feeling unseen, unheard, or unsure about your own needs. I specialize in working with couples and adults working through the lasting effects of emotionally distant or challenging family dynamics. I believe in creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and develop the tools to build healthier, more fulfilling connections—whether with your partner, yourself, or your family.

I integrate several evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Experiential Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy ( EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons: from feeling “stuck” in relationships or work, to struggling with trauma and life’s challenges (e.g., grief, divorce, career stress, academic demands…). My goal is to support clients in navigating these difficulties, helping them develop new perspectives and meanings, and allowing them to move forward with confidence and resilience. I also work on empowering clients to build their “toolbox” of coping strategies and internal resources, making them better equipped to deal with transitions and adversity.

I frequently integrate Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, grounded in Attachment theory, into my therapeutic approach.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand who you are and the story you want to tell. Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. My desire is that no one will ever feel that way in any session. We’ll have a collaborative experience where I get to help you achieve your goals, provide another perspective and set a vision for the life you want now and for the future. Calling a therapist can be intimidating. I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

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.
