It takes courage to recognize there is a problem and ask for help; I am already proud of you for taking that first step and being vulnerable in it. It is normal to have issues and I would love to be able to help you with those. As a social worker, I strive to help the people who come to me for therapeutic services acknowledge and recognize their concerns, identify their emotions, and find their voice and verbalize their thoughts and feelings. So often people feel unimportant and unheard in their own lives and I work alongside my clients to help them gain control over the one thing they can- themselves.

Together with proven treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems Interventions (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy ( EFT) and EMDR treatment options we will find the right fit for you.
Trauma impacts us all. Some of us carry trauma from our childhood days, others serve our communities and country in vocations that inevitably hold high trauma impact, and yet others simply live day in and day out in todays culture of high expectations towards performance and low expectations on self. Any of these things can be traumatic enough. The good news is that there is a science behind trauma, and an even more specific science behind first responder/military trauma impact. All of the symptoms that often times show themselves from trauma are treatable.

I work with couples and individuals using models like Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT & EFIT), without judgement, who are ready to look closely at these stuck places.
Have you reached the point where something HAS to change in your relationship? Do you find yourself fading into the background of your own life, feeling less and less in control of where your life is going? Maybe fear of failing, or fear of being alone, is beginning to run your life. Do you keep trying to figure out why things just don’t feel right but any “fix” just ends up being temporary? One way or another, what you’ve been doing isn’t working…you feel stuck. This is not a fun place to be. Maybe things aren’t that bad, right…or maybe you are just worn out from holding it all together.

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.
