Many people these days have heard of Tapping or EFT.
My focus is on helping people discover their innate sense of Self and purpose in life. Energies necessary for vitality, joy, and love can sometimes become blocked by trauma and its effects—including anxiety, panic, depression, or PTSD, and when one considers all that is happening in our world these days, simply coping can seem to push us to our limits.

I practice from an attachment based perspective and am completing advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
With a compassionate, genuine, and non judgemental approach, my goal is to see individuals and couples working toward a happier, healthier life. Often, we hold deep beliefs about ourselves and others that do not serve us. Those beliefs can hold us back from achieving our best life. I work to facilitate healing in those who are struggling to find peace with themselves and in their relationships. I believe our relationships affect our lives in nearly every aspect and healthy relationships are born from healthy individuals. I enjoys working with individuals and couples to identify what their goals are and work towards harmony.

We will identify your strengths and use them to transform negative patterns that are holding you back or keeping you down. I teach somatic awareness and mindfulness to help you improve your ability to witness yourself, leading to more insight. I work with couples on communication, sexuality, co-parenting, making agreements and becoming each other’s best support person.

Not a fan of traditional talk therapy? I offer virtual and Walk & Talk Therapy aimed at getting you out of your head and into your body. Have you ever felt, "No matter how much I try, I keep repeating old patterns?" There's a big difference between cognitively "Knowing" and subconsciously "Doing." Adversity is a part of the human experience. I work from the understanding that the body remembers and is trying to protect. This leads to automatic and protective stress responses. Deeper healing involves processing and releasing stressors within the whole self, learning to trust oneself, and calming the nervous system.

Sometimes stress gets stored in the body and no matter how much we try to talk ourselves out of it, we still feel stuck. This kind of stress (often tied up with anxiety) benefits from a biological approach, along with traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR and other non-invasive somatic/biological methods in conjunction with talk therapy (i.e. CBT, ACT) to help people build resilience and feel better. I believe that with some tailoring and practice, everyone can learn to rewire their brains and make great strides in creating healthier, happier lives.

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.
