As an art therapist, I am both a licensed mental health professional and an artist. The art therapy space is supportive and nonjudgmental, and filled with art supplies. Put together, art therapy helps clients work through problems and uncomfortable feelings creatively, and can open new doors to self-understanding and coping. Art can connect, ground, and inspire us; it can also offer a level of playfulness that we don’t always have time for as adults. Being a human is hard, and I strive to offer a space where people can be their authentic selves, be creative, and receive and internalize unconditional positive regard.

An EFT therapist (Emotionally Focused Therapist) looks at problems through an attachment perspective: What gets in the way of emotional connection to others? Our self-worth? What messages are from earlier in life? Were emotions validated? Do you express your feelings or disown them? Understanding one's attachment style can lead to closer relationships.
Understanding one's vulnerabilities, emotions, relationships fears and needs is what therapy is about. I work with individuals and couples with a range of presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, childhood and relationship issues. My style is to actively engage you in a non-judgmental way, always sensitive to creating an environment of trust in our sessions. Therapy helps you look at yourself through a different lens so that you can understand the conflicts and distress that present in your life, and use that insight to change them.

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.
