Having completed training in
Emotionally Focused
Therapy, I specialize in helping couples identify and overcome their pattern of disconnection by cultivating a secure emotional bond.
Do you feel disconnected? Do you feel a wall between you and a loved one? Do you feel like you are going around and around in circles but never moving forward? When clients come to see me they often feel hurt, numb, confused, frustrated, lost, or alone. I help clients identify the negative patterns they get caught in, connect with themselves and those they care about most, and support them in finding new solutions to old problems.

therapy, the Gottman method and Circle of Security Parenting.
As human beings, we want healthy and happy relationships. These are vital to our emotional and mental well-being. We want to be our honest, authentic selves and trust that others will be there for us. However, despite our best efforts, things can get in the way. Our emotions, our past, anxiety and depression all affect how we interact with people we care about. Counseling allows for you to sit with someone who has no judgement toward you and your circumstances. I am simply here to help.

If you feel fearful of who to share your struggles with - you are not alone in that fear. This is common, and unfortunately a barrier for many to take the first step and receive healing. I want to create a safe space for you, to share your story. I will help you identify the source of your pain, if that is not clear, and walk through the healing journey with you. There is always hope, and many directions to take to get healing and freedom. I've received much healing, through counseling and want to see others receive the same.

Sometimes, life can be stressful, and we don't always know how to handle it. Many of us have also encountered past hardships or traumatic events that feel impossible to move on from. If that is something you relate with, I can help. Using a client-centered approach, I provide a place where you can share about your struggles and learn coping skills in order to overcome the stress you might be facing. If you are having relationship problems, dealing with anger, feeling anxious, depressed, or having a difficult time managing past trauma, I want to provide a non-judgmental and safe space where you can process through your experience.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
