I offer Emotionally Focused Individual & Couples Therapy for my clients.

Has your relationship been impacted by betrayal, unwanted pornography use or infidelity? Do you feel overwhelmed by unresolved conflicts around money, household responsibilities, sex, or parenting? Now more than ever couples need help developing deeper emotional, physical and spiritual intimacy. Not addressing your most important relationship can lead to loneliness, conflict and distance. I believe that hope, security, and intimacy can be restored to even the most ruptured relationships.

I am certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Circle of Security Core Sensitivities and Parenting, and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy for individuals and families.
I am not your conventional psychotherapist. My journey into the world of mental health is uniquely shaped by my background as a ski journalist and lived experiences of grief, loss, tragedy, and trauma. Driven by a desire to bridge my passion for storytelling with holistic healing, I use my sincere interest in the human experience in the therapy setting to treat adults, couples, and families living with shame, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, addiction, and life transitions and questions. As the Sufi poet Rumi once wrote, “The cure for pain is in the pain.”

I believe that humans are constantly evolving, seeking to reduce suffering, and can enhance self-awareness by delving into the depths of their unconscious mind. There are things in life that challenge us, our values, and our beliefs. As a result, our natural response might show up as stress, anxiety, anger, or grief and lead us to start asking ourselves some tough questions about the meaning of life. It is through counseling that we can start to explore these thoughts and become more self-determined and confident in our choices.

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.
