I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, a researched based treatment to help couples connect more deeply in their relationships.
My goal as a Christian therapist is to provide a nurturing environment where clients feel safe to explore their lives. Relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship issues are often areas of clinical focus. My extensive training as a hospital chaplain has provided me with exposure to many difficult situations where pain, grief, and trauma are common to people of all faiths as well as those who do not embrace a particular faith. It is my desire to wholeheartedly journey alongside each client, respecting the unique aspects of every person's faith tradition, situation and needs.

Asking for support for yourself or your child is a courageous step. Without warning you may find yourself dealing with loss of a relationship, changing schools or jobs, or just feeling like life has lost its spark. Perhaps parenting, which used to be so easy, does not seem to be working. Or carrying so much anxiety & stress, day-in & day-out has become too heavy. Life has turned upside down, magnifying everything to the point that it's just overwhelming. I get it, & I can help you pave a path to reclaim your well-being. Together, we can develop the skills needed to motivate you or your child & enhance your individual strengths.

I highly desire to preserve the family unit. I love working with couples, teens, family dynamics while exploring exestential concepts, challenging traditional roles and perceptions that result in individual autonomy, confidence and authentisity. I love helping blended families work together in finding common values, aligning with parenting styles and goals, while increasing life satisfaction for all indivduals involved. I enjoy supporting couples recover from addictions and infedelity as well as other challenges and barriers that are often identified as "dealbreakers" and reframing previous expectations to create new ones.

Life is hard. In one moment, life as you know it can be completely changed. Are the things that once made you happy no longer making you happy? Have you been through a frightening experience that left you feeling scared, lonely, or even doubting who you are? Maybe you’ve been through a series of little things that you believe shouldn’t be bothering you, but they are. Do you feel completely misunderstood and alone? I get it. You are not alone. Everyone needs space to process life’s challenges and successes. No one is supposed to be able to figure it all out on their own.

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.
