I work mainly in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is based on attachment theory.
Entering a relationship with a therapist can be challenging when life is going well, so I appreciate the additional effort it takes when things aren't easy. I view our work as mutual, a partnership and my style is to be there with you as you explore. I also believe 'the work' is never truly done, but my goal is to give you the skills to continue that work outside of our time together. With couples, this work is complex because there are two histories, two brains, and scars from relationship injuries that need healing as we strengthen that bond.

I've been in practice for 20 years and have worked in a variety of settings. My experience has taught me that the most effective way to address issues is to first identify strengths and use those to address weaknesses. I believe that people are driven toward peace and happiness and need to be empowered by identifying goals and creating a plan for achieving those goals. Sessions are always client driven; your treatment must be about your agenda and no one else's.

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.
