We all have trials and tribulations we face in life, that does not mean we need to face them alone. I'm a firm believer that the compassion and aid of another can do wonders in navigating life when one is going through a challenging time. Throughout my time as a Therapist I have learned that people possess all the tools needed to solve their own problem, though sometimes lack the knowledge in how to use them. I believe that people grown and overcome the hurdles of life when they have a safe space to go and can struggle without fear of judgment. If you are looking for a place and person who can offer this contact me today.

Together, we will explore strategies to increase your insight (the ability to see your larger picture, connect present and past experiences, and plan for the life you want to live). I believe that therapy is half science and half art form...It can be skills-based or more existential in nature. You and I will find what works best for you - and then, simply stated, follow that path. It is my professional and personal conviction that you deserve to have a therapist who is 100% present for you, respects your life experience and culture, and utilizes tools that feel right and make the most sense to you.

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.
