Working with trauma is something that I am truly passionate about. I am dedicated to learning and practicing the latest approaches and methods of dealing with and healing from traumatic experiences that all of us had to face more than once in our lifetime. When we bury feelings, we bury them alive. Trauma resides in our bodies, even if we choose to ignore it. I use various methods such as EMDR, CBT, Logotherapy, Spiritual guidance, etc. to get to the root of it.

Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you're continuing work from before, each session is attuned to your specific goals & needs.

I empower my clients to own their process and their emotions with Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Are you seeking a safe space? A space where you can be fully seen, heard, and accepted. I specialize in working with clients who are highly motivated and willing to be uncomfortable. It can be so hard to face the things we've kept in the darkness and I work very hard from session one to provide you a space where you are safe and protected, where you can explore deep feelings while also having an exit and a hand to grab along the way. I work best with clients who are looking for more than symptom management. My clients succeed when they open themselves up to full healing by digging deep and getting to the root of the challenge.

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.
