Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is a research validated method in which partners learn to identify harmful and entrenched patterns within their marriage and develop the skills to engage in a new way. Your relationship may be highly reactive and conflictual or feel like an emotional desert where closeness disappeared long ago. In either case, EFT can help you create a partnership that is nourishing and a haven for personal growth. I am an advanced practitioner of EFT. I work with both heterosexual and same sex couples.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, and relationship concerns by exploring a deeper awareness of both the body and mind. I use several approaches including attachment theory, EMDR, IFS, EFT, and CBT, as I work with individuals and couples to resolve core beliefs which feed powerlessness and shame. I listen to and advocate for my clients to find new pathways through life's challenges of trauma, emotional neglect, grief, and negative self-worth. We don't need all the answers to be "good enough." We need someone to "be" with us as we learn new ways to thrive.

In our lives, we can find ourselves stuck, confused, overwhelmed, and weary; perplexed about how our life is unfolding. We find ourselves asking what is happening with me? How did I get here? To understand the complexity of the challenges we’re facing as humans, we need to start with pausing to build awareness and perspective. Yet, when we’re tangled up inside ourselves, in our circumstances, relationships, all of life’s distractions, and the conditioning of our past experiences, it’s so difficult to do this work on our own. That is what the work of therapy is about: partnering with a trained guide in this uncharted territory.

I offer a secure place to be yourself to unravel your secrets, fears, shame and guilt. I have 26 years post-doctoral clinical experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I view human problems from a social systemic perspective addressing the individual and their social context.

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.
