You seem to have it all together. You have a good life so why can’t you just snap out of it? No matter how hard you try those feelings don’t go away. Anxiety? Depression? ADHD? Do you even know what to call what you are experiencing? You don’t know how to give words to it sometimes. You aren’t sure if you even have the symptoms. You don’t know if you actually need therapy but wonder if it would be nice just to talk it out with someone. The way you feel about yourself seems to get in the way of you living life the way you want to.

I have found truth in the idea that "life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced". Therapy then becomes a beautiful place where we can try on new ideas and perspectives. My Clients are at the wheel. They get to be their authentic selves and are free to explore the world around them as they see fit. Yes, that includes the pain and sadness. Those come with the territory. But we often find peace and happiness too. It's this balance that gives us hope to move onward and upward in our unique journey.

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.
