Often times, the human experience is anything but easy. With the reality of the unknown, societal pressures to conform, and a never ending to do list, there is no wonder why we tend to feel over worked, stressed, anxious, and mentally unwell. Let's take this opportunity to talk about the individual struggles that we endure at the fault of others and even ourselves. We will work to create a plan of action to manage difficult feelings such as shame, hopelessness, and worthlessness while also gaining insight to pursue making healthy choices and gaining perspective.

If you're looking for a therapist who is both caring and strong, look no further! I can handle what you have going on, and help you find the way to a better situation. I work with couples, families, and individuals. My ideal clients want a therapist with a unique perspective, who can handle the most problematic of situations, and won't come off as overly academic or stereotypically "therapist-y". I'm on your team. I'm not better than you, but I will lend some solid muscle to your cause. I am neurodiverse (and neurodiversity-affirming), LGBTQ+ affirming, sexuality and body positive, and multicultural. I will help!

This is a Boutique Couples Psychotherapy Practice-all new clients "will need a referral". Most couples start off feeling "in-love", feeling they have found "the one", and they are ready to open their heart to this perfect partner. Closeness develops and they begin to feel safe. Then as life would have it, they discover their partner has flaws. They see their partner differently and this influences the way this couple communicates and connects to each other.

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.
