I'm an experienced therapist of over 25 years having spent thousands of counseling hours with individuals, couples and groups. Women's issues such as sexual abuse, miscarriage, abortion, traumatic events, marital/relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief and PTSD - are my specialty. I have counseled hundreds of couples to improve communication, intimacy/connection issues, trust; and to heal from infidelity, addictions and wounds that threaten the relationship. Issues of teens and young adults are important to address early in life: school, career, sexuality, relationships, traumas. Better to get help sooner than later!

Today, let’s start becoming the best version of you! Often, we get hung up on defining ourselves by what we have, what we have done and what we have been through. What we neglect to think about is the opportunity we have daily to start anew and change the way we think and feel. Therapy offers the opportunity to have support in processing, finding direction and learning how to continuously cope with the unpredictable nature of life. I truly believe that when we have a safe, nonjudgmental space to be our authentic selves, we can have the freedom to feel vulnerable and gain an understanding of who we are and who we want to become.

Sexual inhibition, low desire, or dysfunction can leave you feeling insecure and worried about your relationship. Where once was love and joy, now there are bouts of loneliness and arguments. Sex has become another item on the to-do list, if it even happens at all. Maybe you have already tried couple’s counseling, but the frustration and resentment around your sex life keeps your relationship stuck and you’re still left wondering if it is your fault. You want to overcome the challenges that make sex unenjoyable, difficult, even painful, but you wonder if therapy can help.

As you maneuver through growing pains, as a child/adult you may have felt, "nobody knows what I have been through, walked in my shoes," Situations are often so tied into one another that its like a knot in a shoelace, you get on one knee, using one hand trying to get it a loose, the more you mess with it, the more tangled it becomes as you juggle other stuff. At some point we realize, I have to sit down for this, take time. Both hands are needed to pinch that knot just right. Yet, some of us don't have two hands, or time to sit down. We are worn out, our environment and/or life's demands don't allow us to unravel our stuff safely.

Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in marital woes and discontent. I believe wholeheartedly in acknowledging, processing, and identifying triggers and being honest with our mates about what "our new normal," looks like and how external stressors add to marriage conflict. For those who are contemplating marriage, please consider having those difficult conversations in an effort to be proactive versus reactive. Finally, for families in conflict, consider making today the first day of changes, though small, that are needed to navigate into a better future.

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.
