Through advanced training in trauma-based & neuroscience-informed modalities (such as AEDP, EFT , & EMDR), I'm able to work with clients in a way that rewires the nervous system so clients can be their selves at best.
Searching for a therapist can be a daunting experience, one that is often intensified by the overwhelming struggles that lead to seeking help in the first place. Despite this initial challenge, the bold step towards therapy can become the catalyst for a renewed sense of purpose and agency for your life. Perhaps right now you are feeling powerless, stuck in cycles of negative thoughts and behaviors, burdened by complicated relationships, or working through a difficult season of change. Whatever it is that brings you to this process, know that therapy can help you find relief.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals who feel are looking to feel confident and satisfied in their relationships (romantic, platonic, and/or most importantly with oneself) I use the proven clinically effective therapy models of EFT and DBT to give you the best shot at success.
You're trying your hardest to feel connected to your loved one(s) but instead you end up feeling the opposite. You're tired of overthinking and missing the mark. You might be experiencing the "what ifs" as I call them: "What if my partner is unable to meet my needs? Maybe they don't care to...What if breaking up is the best thing? Do they even love me?" I want you to wake up excited to spend the day with your partner...and actually enjoy the day together! Without any casual conversations turned fights, without avoiding intimacy, without constantly triggering one another. Healthy communication not only exists, it's within your reach.

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.
