You want to enjoy your family and your work, but you're stressed out and exhausted trying to keep up with it all. Sometimes you snap, or need your space, but then you feel guilty and get hard on yourself because you don't want to let anyone down. You're spread too thin and struggle to make time for yourself, and your health and relationships are taking the hit. You wonder "Why does everyone else seem like they can juggle so many things, and I'm so exhausted I'm ready to collapse?" But of course you don't show that, everyone thinks you're fine. Life doesn't have to be this way. You can change this, and it's ok to ask for help!

I’m so glad you’re considering counseling, the right support can make all the difference! We are often so good at meeting the needs of others, but struggle to take care of ourselves in the same meaningful way. I help women who are ready to up their self-care game and let go of what no longer serves them, whether it's anxiety and stress, unhelpful relationship patterns, perfectionism and constant over-thinking, a heavy emotional load or past traumas. I also work with young adults to help with academic stress/anxiety, relationships, and major life transitions. Change is truly possible and you deserve the support to make it happen!

My approach is gentle and eclectic, person-centered and collaborative. You are the expert of yourself and sometimes it's helpful to have someone to listen to understand. I like to provide validation, exploration, and support. First timers to therapy and those taking the leap to try out therapy again seem to appreciate my style. Whether you are rediscovering yourself, going through a stressful time, wanting to process trauma, etc., I'll be here alongside you. I consider the family system, childhood/caregiver attachment, parenting styles, generational trauma, systemic racism, larger society, etc. and all these impacts.

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.
