I primarily use a modality called EFT paired with ADHD specific skills.
Do you struggle sharing your thoughts & feelings with your partner? Do you minimize the conflicts in your relationship out of fear? Are you easily distracted when listening to one another? I know how this feels because these have been my struggles too. As someone living with ADHD, I've learned to trust my partner and implement tools to overcome distractions. Feeling deeply connected to your partner can be challenging when you feel pulled in so many directions. From screaming kids to work stress, lack of support, or being absolutely exhausted. I'm passionate about helping people find each other again amidst the chaos of life.

My practice centers around teaching people principles on how to access their own innate psychological health, and how to utilize this understanding for their own well-being. This can include a healthier concept of self, a more productive way of viewing difficulties and overcoming challenges in life, and how to establish more meaningful relationships. I help client's suffering from depression, anxiety, attention issues, addictions, emotional regulatory disorders and relational conflict learn skills such as CBT, DBT, 3 principles training, and mindfulness to help better their lives. Teaching new skills is an integral part of my practice.

I love what I do! I connect well with my clients, and I particularly enjoy working with individuals struggling to make the transition from adolescence to adulthood - no matter the age. This is often a challenging time during which counseling can help assess expectations and establish boundaries for yourself and with others. I also connect well with individuals working in high tech that are transitioning in various areas of their lives. I am happy to consult with you and answer any questions you may have about the counseling process.

The client notices that I am wanting to understand more and more about what it's like to be her or him. Trust develops. I come to admire the client's willingness to dare a variety of words and feelings. S/he discovers the bolstering agency that comes with the exploration. S/he discovers that s/he can put me back on track if I misunderstand or misinterpret something. We come to be genuine and open about our experience of one another. I feel respectful and honored. Tears and laughter are both welcome . I accept BCBS (not Health Select) and, in some cases Medicare. $175 per session.

Along the road, we all developed temporary tools to solve the problems in our lives. Unfortunately, we often forgot to stop using those tools, and they became "permanent." In the end, using the wrong tool to solve a problem does not make one's life better, only worse. In therapy, I work with adolescents and adults to re-tool and get more of what they want out of life.

Pain exists to make us pay attention. Trying desperately not to hurt, we compromise our integrity, our hearts and our sense of self, on some misguided mission to be invulnerable, to please, to care-take, or just to belong...Somewhere along the way, our vision of ourselves loses focus. Therapy can help create a new template for living. Research shows us that the brain can actually re-wire itself in the context of a secure relationship, developing new capacities for self-soothing, obtaining perspective, and being intimate. I believe that all suffering bears embedded gifts, if we look hard enough.

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.
