Being a counselor is a great privilege! I enjoy walking with people through some of the darkest times of their lives as they move forward to reaching their goals. The environment of the client-therapist relationship is unique and powerful. Within this context, growth is contagious. It's amazing to watch people say things like "I finally know and like myself" and feel that they no longer feel "stuck" or full of confusion or regrets. In order to be engaged in this process, I believe in being genuine, caring, and straight-forward.

As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, I will help you transform conflict and disconnection into growth and intimacy.
Are you feeling misunderstood or disconnected from your partner? Tired of having the same argument over and over again and never getting anywhere? Do you feel lonely in your relationship and discouraged about how to get close again? Sometimes it can feel hopeless. You may have settled into a pattern of quiet resignation, filling your time with distractions, and trying to ignore the fact that neither of you is truly happy. Whatever your circumstances, couples therapy can help you identify the negative patterns keeping you stuck and build a stronger, healthier relationship in which you feel seen, heard and connected.

EFT is systemic because it looks at the whole relationship and the patterns the relationship present, and how couples get "stuck" in a cycle of negative emotion.
I practice Emotion Focus Couples Therapy ( EFT). It is an Evidence Based Practice therapy with a 76% success rate with couples who complete their treatment plan. I collaborate with distressed couples and (individuals) whose relationships are "stuck" or are affected by the echoes of trauma. EFT focuses on how, couples experience their relationship and how they link together their emotional experience and express those emotions together as a couple. Emotions are the experience-the dance between adult lovers.

I enjoy helping people gain a greater sense of identity and purpose through a creative, emotionally focused, and experiential approach to therapy.
There are many reasons that a person may seek counseling. Facing hardships in life can be very difficult, especially when trying to navigate them alone. Letting others into our pain and circumstances can be scary, but it can also be a time for immense growth. Therapy can provide both support and hope as a person works towards a greater sense of wholeness and healing.

My advanced training in EFT relationship therapy allows me to help you to identify and make sense of the negative patterns that are getting in the way of real intimacy.
Do you often wonder why your partner won’t talk with you…really talk with you? Sometimes they even become angry, verbally attack, or just withdraw when you try to explain things. It’s really important but they just don’t seem to understand. Maybe you have a “communication problem” or maybe they just don’t care about you anymore. Whatever is happening, this place is scary and confusing! How great would it be to end up feeling more connected to each other after resolving a problem or repairing a conflict?

A marital relationship is one of the most important relationships in an individual’s life.

However, when this relationship is strained, it can lead to greater levels of conflict, depression and difficulties at work or in other family relationships.
