My Approach to Therapy

Do you and your partner struggle at times to feel close and connected? Do you have fights or battles that just seem to go around and around in the same pattern that never ends in connection? Perhaps you feel betrayed by your partner and the wound has never been healed between you. Or do you struggle with depression, anxiety, or past trauma that leaves you feeling lonely, down, or distressed? I have over 25 years of experience in working with couples and clients struggling to find their way to a more settled, healthy, and whole state of being using the emotionally focused therapy (EFT) model of treatment. EFT is considered the "gold standard" of couples treatment with empirically validated research supporting its process and effectiveness. I also have as many years of working with clients who have experienced trauma that interferes with their ability to have healthy relationships. See my website for testimonials concerning my work and treatment success.

My Therapy Focus

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the most empirically validated, evidence-based and successful model today to help couples stop their negative patterns, find loving feelings again, create safety and security, and bond together for a lifetime of love. EFT for couples has become the ?gold standard? of couples therapy according to the American Psychological Association, because of the rigorous process and outcome studies that show exactly how and why EFT works. Here are a few of the outcomes of EFT many couples report when they fully engage in the EFT therapy process: Strengthen Attachment Bonds Create Security in the Relationship Communicate & Problem Solve More Effectively Resolve Old Arguments Improve Emotional & Physical Intimacy Heal Old Wounds & Find Forgiveness
