About My Clients
Couples can get pulled into patterns like the gravitational pull of a black hole. The more they try to escape its grip, the more they find themselves sucked back into cycles that leave them hurting and alone. Similarly, individuals can feel trapped in negative paths of anger, anxiety, and self-doubt. But there is a way through. I use EFT to help clients discover their feelings, needs, and goals. As they do, they gain a new awareness of the negative pull that has held such power over their lives.
My Background and Approach
Emotion-focused Therapy (EFT) has an enviable success rate in helping clients experience improvement in their lives and relationships. One thing that makes it so powerful, is that rather than simply offering tips and tricks, we will work with your deep needs for connection right in therapy. For individual sessions, this includes discovering and honoring the parts of ourselves that may be misunderstood and discarded. For couples sessions, I will help you both uncover the desire for connection that gets shoved to the back when tempers flare.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have an unshakable belief in the ability of each person to grow and become who they were meant to be. A client who is offered a safe therapeutic place of empathy and encouragement almost can't help but begin to thrive. I am deeply curious about clients--so much so that I don't want to stop at the play-by-play of life. The good stuff happens when we explore what goes on for you and your relationships under the hood. I want to know, what words you tell yourself and what feelings bubble up. Some of the most impactful encounters I have had were when someone gently challenged the unrealistic views I had of myself and others. Perhaps, like me, you feel the temptation to protect vulnerable needs and emotions. In therapy, we'll explore these needs and honor the defenses that have done such a great job of keeping us safe but not truly known. We will begin to see problems differently as we take responsibility for our emotions and life events.
