I utilize a variety of theories to meet client needs; however, I primarily utilize a humanistic lens with EFT, Narrative, Psychoanalysis, Existentialism & Mindfulness while encouraging self-compassion, acceptance and positive self-talk.
I aim to emotionally hold my clients’ stories and help them gain awareness of their life, by reflecting on what experiences have shaped them into who they currently are, in order for them to reach their future goals. Truly, I believe that counseling is a space filled with the promise of healing; however, I understand the first step in the process of sharing takes untold bravery and I aim to create a safe and trusting environment where clients feel comfortable to disclose issues related to relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma in a supportive space where we will work collaboratively towards healing.

You deserve to live a life with peace of mind, not dominated by anxiety or dulled by depression. Do you wake up dreading what you have to face each day? Is your relationship going downhill? Do you often argue with your family? Have you turned to alcohol or drugs to help you through the day? Are you unable to stop grieving a loss? These issues can rob you of peace of mind. Life is a gift and is too short for holding onto resentments, feeling stuck in a hurtful relationship, or being weighed down by constant anxiety and fear. Finding your life purpose and discovering a spiritual life are part of the path I want to help guide you on.

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.
