About My Clients
When communication with your significant other ends in frustration and the closeness that you long for seems elusive, I can help. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we will understand the negative relational pattern in which you’re caught. We will then restructure your bond by uncovering your deeper unmet needs and creating a safe haven in which you two can accept the tender and vulnerable places within each other. With a closer, more satisfying bond, you two will find new solutions.
My Background and Approach
In addition to couples therapy, I also specialize in helping individuals heal from the effects of trauma using EMDR. It’s natural in a disturbing event to have stress responses such as fight, flight, or freeze instincts. After trauma, upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create feelings of overwhelm, of being back in that moment, or of being “frozen in time.” The experience is still remembered, but the fight, flight, or freeze response from the original event is resolved. Extensive research on EMDR supports that we can heal from traumatic experiences in body, mind, and spirit, if you’ll join me. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories and allows normal healing to continue.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In my office (in-person or virtual), you will experience empathy, respect for your whole person, unconditional positive regard, and full acceptance for who you are. If you are a marginalized gender, ability, status, sexuality, or person of color then a space to process discrimination is crucial. Lived experience should not be prejudged and curiosity to understand is a priority. We are designed for whole-body healing, and treatment can reflect this through practical tools to tap into the body/brain/relationship connection. Reach out to me to get started together.
