Emotionally Focused Therapy

The root of all healing comes from processing emotion, and this is not an easy thing to do. As humans we avoid, resist, and repress in order to protect ourselves. Using EFT, I can build a relationship with my clients, pull the emotion out, and help make connections. Therapy is a safe space to process emotions and my clients and I work together to break down those barriers.

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.

I believe that connection and emotional safety are the keys to happiness in relationships. But unfortunately, we tend to become stuck in negative patterns that reinforce disconnection. What we bring to the relationship is formed through our experiences with past relationships and our histories. I help clients to become aware of these patterns and change them. Through this, we can have new healthy interactions and experience more vulnerable communication and connections.

My approach to meeting with clients has been deeply influenced by the work of Sue Johnson with Emotionally Focused Therapy, a highly researched and validated, evidence-based model. We'll work together to help you and your partner repair your ability to trust each other again and feel deeply connected.

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.

Emotionally Focused Therapy helps you gain insight into your feelings to help deepen relationships, improve decision making, expand self knowledge and emotional awareness.

Bye Bye to having your emotions dictate your life!Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) is a technique I use to help my clients reprocess, experience, and reorganize interactions in order to create a secure bond, a sense of secure connectedness. This can be used in combination with other of my therapeutic techniques when working with individuals, families or couples. The best way that I can explain it is to help you change your mindset and allow you to take back control of you emotions and reactions.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful approach that helps individuals and couples identify, understand, and express their emotions. It's particularly effective in improving communication and emotional intimacy.

I often work from an Emotion Focused Therapy perspective. Through this approach, we work together to deepen awareness of emotions, feelings and experiences that might be getting in your way, or making you feel stuck. Exploring these emotions in a safe space with deep compassion, can often be very meaningful and freeing, allowing for new insights and renewed sense of grounding, and peace in how you want to be in the world.

I have been trained in Emotionally focused Therapy (EFT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT).
