My Approach to Helping

I never cease to be humbled by the power and resilience with which a couple can heal their struggling relationship. Beneath the anger, frustration and hurt - there is the unique bond that brought you together. Healing and strengthening this bond allows couples to resolve bitter conflict and create the closeness and intimacy that often gets lost when people get "stuck" in negative communication, long term conflict or stress, lack of physical intimacy, even infidelity or trauma.

For over two decades 90 % of couples completing Emotonally Focused Therapy (EFT) significantly improve their relationship, and 70-75% experience complete relationship recovery. I am a CERTIFIED EFT therapist, and have completed over 200 hours of post graduate training in EFT. Ialso supervise the work of several psychotherapists learning the EFT model.

EFT is different from other methods of relationship therapy is that couples experience continued relationship growth even after ending therapy!

EFT can help you to:
*improve communication
*prevent disagreements from spiraling out of control
*express your needs and respond to your partner's needs *create security, heal long-standing hurt and create trust
*repair damage: affairs, loss, intense stress and conflict
*regain emotional and physical intimacy

EFT is a short term model of 15 - 24 sessions -depending on the couple. Many of the couples I work with find that even after the first few sessions - they are communicating more, arguing less, and connecting to each other's needs and feelings through a different lens. Whether you are just starting out and need pre-marital therapy or have been married for years - EFT is a highly effective way to transform conflict and regain closeness.

I am passionate about my work, but I also believe that being a good therapist means leading a balanced life. I have been practicing yoga and meditation for over 17 years and love music, working in my garden and spending time with the people I love.
