Nothing is more interesting than people. Although I love math, physics, engineering, and chemistry, I chose to study psychology because of the challenge and importance of understanding what it means to be human. My Doctorate in clinical psychology was followed by a post-doctoral Master's in clinical psychopharmacology. I have advanced training in evidenced-based therapies for couples, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (Sue Johnson's EFT) and the Gottman method (level 3).

When relationship problems occur, couples can easily hit a roadblock. Through therapy, couples quickly learn that they most likely have a communication issue rather than a fundamental flaw of the relationship. Couples therapy works on healing and improving how you communicate. Your relationship can be strengthened and the bond of your friendship restored through couples counseling. If you're struggling in your relationship, seek help early on to avoid a build-up of resentment and disconnect. It's best to be proactive with issues that arise.

While I practice the "art" of therapeutic integration, the foundational therapies I practice are emotionally focused, cognitive- behavioral, and Christian counseling.
For many people coming for counseling is a last resort in a series attempts to find relief from overwhelming challenges or for emotional and psychological healing. Most feel they have lost a sense of hope, meaning or purpose. If that's where you find yourself today, let me encourage you that hope is possible again! I believe all recovery and healing must take place holistically; body, mind and spirit. As a compassionate faith-based therapist, my focus is on creating a genuine collaborative relationship. I am dedicated to providing a respectful, non-judgmental environment in order to facilitate positive life change.

Are you looking to re-connect with your partner? Maybe arguments feel like they never get resolved resulting in topics that are too hot to address, so you either avoid them or get in the same fight all the time. Maybe there was a betrayal that caused the loss of trust and this is causing arguments and heart ache. Things may have changed after having your first baby, or maybe you're an empty nester, but what you know is that you want to communicate, have fun together, and connect like you used to. You have tried everything and you are wondering how to recover from it. What if you could get it all back?

Dr. Tom was born in Israel and raised in florida in a family with unique values, which led her to a genuine appreciation for culture and individuality. Growing up with a Hebrew name that was frequently misunderstood in a primarily English-speaking society fostered cultural awareness from a very young age. However, this adversity combined with pride for her identity allowed her to recognize and embrace others’ diversity. The dichotomy of growing up in a suburban American society with certain outlooks, and then coming home to differing cultural perspectives helped her develop an expanded range of vision and acceptance of others.

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.
