I am a PhD licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of experience. I use a systemic approach in understanding relationship challenges. This means, rather than looking at each individual as an island, I account for how individual, family, and cultural factors affect one another. I believe that when we understand these interactions we can better identify meaningful and sustainable solutions to the problems at hand.

"When 'I' is replaced by 'We' even 'illness' Becomes 'Wellness'" --Malcolm X. This is my approach to therapeutic intervention. Healing the body, mind, and spirit will create overall 'wellness.' Why is it that we make appointments to take care of our physical health, but we seem to ignore our mental health? Therapy doesn’t have to be a scary or painful event, it should be a place where you can open yourself to the journey to reach your full potential. I realize that calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help you.

Our work is dedicated to helping ALL people develop healthy, satisfying, productive, and meaningful lives. Though it can be difficult to make the decision to begin therapy, we have found that those who have sought help and take responsibility for their emotional heath and relationships have achieved remarkable results. People come to us for a variety of reasons: they may be in transition, experiencing work stress, grieving a loss, struggling with religious or family ideals which no longer suit them, a new parent experiencing anxiety. Some have begun to feel daily life is stagnant, seeking more direction and purpose in their lives.

Confronting & coping with challenges can be extremely difficult in this culture filled with pretension. You ever feel like you aren’t allowed to hurt, experience weakness or failure? Feeling trapped & stagnated by your fear? Worried & stressed out? Your confidence seems non-existent? Maybe, you're feeling defeated & overcome by what seems like unending pain. You’re not alone. I have been there too. One great thing about hurt, weakness & failure is that they are a part of the human experience & they can be limited. Instead of allowing challenges to paralyze your life, what if you could heal, grow & capitalize on them?

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.
