I'm grounded in relational, emotionally focused, and psychodynamic theories that explore one's emotions, relationships, personal strengths, and life experiences to promote growth and lasting change.
I am a licensed psychologist with experience treating adults, young adults, athletes, and couples. My approach to therapy is supportive, client-centered and humanistic. I think of my role as facilitating growth, rather than dictating how one should or should not live. I work to be authentic and real with my clients and believe that trust, safety, and a positive therapeutic relationship can lead to meaningful change and wellbeing.

Trained in Gottman, PACT and EFT modalities, I approach couples from the perspective that our romantic partners have the unique ability to make or break our nervous systems in a way that no other person can.
I genuinely believe that no matter what you’ve gone through, you have immense potential to thrive. Through our sessions, I help clients identify the parts of themselves that have mastered the art of distraction, denial and destruction. However insight into an issue is only one part of the process. I partner with my clients to empower them with the tools they need to challenge unwanted patterns, to overcome dips in confidence and to show up as their most authentic selves in every space and relationship they occupy.

Clients benefit from a wide range of trauma modalities such as EMDR or Somatic Experiencing and evidenced based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy or the Gottman Method.
Many will enter therapy thinking, “What have I been doing wrong to get here?” I meet clients and think, “What have you been doing right to make it this far?” Yes, I think a bit backwards, but it’s what allows me to find innovative ways to help clients move forward using their strengths. Individuals, couples, and families who have previously felt stuck in complex issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, adoption, parenting, and relationships report finding relief through embracing their strengths and being reassured that their experience is valid. This helps tap into their innate ability to heal and renew balance.

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.
