Emotionally Focused Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy helps to address the underlying root of what is keeping you stuck in your relationship and prioritize deep understanding and connection in order to feel safety and security with your loved one.

When we feel safe and secure in our relationships, we are better able to courageously explore our worlds. In EFT, we work on improving the security of your attachments by delving into your core fears, emotions, and desires in a safe environment. Doing so allows for moments of great connection, making this a great fit for marriage, premarital, and family counseling.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on helping individuals and couples improve their emotional connections in their relationships. Communication becomes peaceful, disagreements and past hurts are easier to discuss, and your ability to love and be loved improves for the better.

Emotions play a critical role in therapy and our daily lives. I help individuals truly understand how their emotions play an integral role in their lives and how they can connect with their emotions in a way that allows them to become empowered by them. This is what is meant by experiential therapy and putting clients in the driver seat of their therapeutic experience.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has quickly become one of the most popular approaches to working with couples. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective forms of couples therapy. The focus is on understanding how our emotions, interactions, and attachments come together to form healthy and unhealthy patterns in our relationship. EFT aims to encourage the growth of new healthy patterns and move away from unhealthy patterns.

Do you find you and your partner(s) are getting stuck in the same argument over and over? You know you both care for each other but neither of you feel heard and seen. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I can help you get in touch with your deeper emotions, address your relational conflict cycle, and build safe & emotionally connected relationships.

I have current and ongoing training in Emotionally Focused therapy. EFT is an attachment-based therapy that helps clients face existential life issues by creating a solid sense of self and resiliency. This type of therapy is experiential and offers corrective experiences to help clients relate better to themselves and others in a safe and secure way.

Nearly 10 years of clinical experience and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Sometimes you feel your emotions so strongly that it prevents you from thinking straight. I teach clients to regulate and cope with negative emotions as well as gain awareness of their emotions. Furthermore, I assist with developing a strategy to work effectively with a range of emotions.

Using an integrated EFT approach I help couples and individuals identify their primary emotions, work through maladaptive responses, and develop empathy and compassion for themselves and others.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is my primary treatment modality for couples. With the guidance of EFT principles, I help clients recognize their maladaptive patterns of relating. They are then taught how to recognize these patterns in the moment and choose a healthier and more productive communication style. Once clients are able to develop healthier communication skills, they are able to engage in deeper forms of communication that promote healing and connection.

Emotionally Focused Therapy is used to delve deeper into your world and to explore how your feelings are connected to your thoughts, behaviors, and past experiences. We also use somatic techniques to understand how emotions impact your mind and body. The integrative approach of these therapies allows us to address concerns of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I can help you get in touch with your deeper emotions, address your relational conflict cycle, and build safe & emotionally connected relationships.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and have been helping couples strengthen their relationship bonds through this modality since 2021. I have helped couples, on the brink of divorce, mend old relationship wounds and create a stronger bond that they didn't even know was possible.

Emotionally Focused Therapy, otherwise known as EFT, is a therapeutic approach specifically focused on relationships, developing deeper connections, and bonding. Though EFT was initially developed for counseling couples, it has been expanded into both individual and family counseling, as it is particularly effective for clients who have experienced betrayal or trauma in their close relationships. The goal of EFT is to enhance trust and strengthen the bonds with one another.

Emotionally focused therapy recognizes the emotions we show are often times protective emotions which hide our true feelings. By communicating more deeply, we can acknowledge some of these aspects and although it may take additional courage, by being vulnerable, it helps our relationships improve.

Often times, people end up in therapy because they are struggling with difficult emotions. EFT is an approach that changes your relationship with your emotions by promoting understanding of how your emotions can help you and teaching alternate ways of coping with difficult emotions.

In my work with couples, I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy, in conjunction with the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, having received advanced training in both.
