I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy which works to strengthen the bonds in your relationships by exploring the cycles couples and families get stuck in.
Asking for help can be the hardest thing that some us will ever do. Life is messy. Choosing to grow is intentional and requires work. It's courageous to say, "I don't want to do this alone." Everyone needs support at some point whether you are battling depression or anxiety, working your way through grief, navigating through a life transition or marriage and family problems. I want to help you find your strengths and explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck. My passion is helping people have the healthy relationships that strengthen and validate the people they are.

(A couple/family that goes to therapy together reconnects together!) I utilize an EFT ( Emotionally Focused Therapy) approach.
Hi there. I specialize with helping couples and/or families who are not satisfied in their relationships. Couples may have a range of issues from poor communication to deep betrayals of trust. Families may struggle with changing roles and dynamics in the home. When a couple or family is feeling disconnected or unsupported, the smallest issue can seem insurmountable. By working with a couples and family therapist, clients can expect to have their voices heard and their concerns validated. I am deeply committed to helping relationships learn to heal and connect.

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.
