Whether we are experiencing new or old emotions, feelings, or having thoughts that are getting in the way of life, it can be difficult for us to feel at peace and be present with our loved ones or self. Our relationships at work, with family, friends may be at risk because of this. This can make it challenging for us to be the best version of ourselves. Even if we don't feel completely ready to "do the work," starting to work towards it is a great start. Learning about our behaviors and what we can do to manage and process our emotions in healthier ways may be foreign to some, but great for someone who'd like to make changes.

My interest in the field of mental health began at a young age when I witnessed the way people sought my mother, a spiritual individual, for comfort and solace. These experiences imbued in me the value of community, empathy, and service to others.

I have worked with a variety of people from older adults to children, different ethnicities, genders, homelessness, individuals who use drugs, athletes, veterans, and more. I worked in residential treatment facilities, outpatient programs, colleges, and private practice settings. If you are looking on reducing your symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. then CBT and EMDR would be great options.

You've wanted to be a parent for as long as you can remember. But you never imagined that it would be this difficult. And after all the fertility clinics, hospital visits, and countless hours with doctors, you’re no closer to getting pregnant. So many things feel like they’re completely out of your control. Frustration is mounting, and fights with your partner are becoming more frequent. You wish you could talk about what you’re going through. But it’s such a private matter, and you don’t want to burden family and friends. Every day, your grief, shame, anxiety, and isolation grow. You know that something has to change, but how?

Authenticity, language, and empathy are the three tenants in my therapeutic work. Our lived experiences shape the way we interact with others and, as a result, old patterns may resurface. By creating dialogue in the room, my clients and I are able to foster a space for healing work to begin. As a growth-oriented clinician, I value the growth that comes from the therapeutic process and want to empower my clients to be the change they wish to experience in their lives.

Life often brings both expected and unforeseen changes in our lives that ignite both joy and excitement, but also distressing emotions. Whether it's adjusting to a new job, working through a difficult relationship or struggling with how to balance home and work life, these experiences often leads us to feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. Engaging in therapy can be hard work, but it is my hope that we can turn these hardships into opportunities to reflect on who we are, to grow into who we want to become and most importantly, gain valuable insight to make our life more meaningful and rewarding.

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.
