Emotionally Focused Therapy can help . . .

●   When there are arguments, frustrations and family or marital problems
●   If you are contemplating divorce or separation and not sure of your choices
●   When you have feelings of anxiety, depression, or frustration with life
●   When you want to heal from trauma or abuse
●   When your child is withdrawn, or angry, struggling with peers or academics

Why is Emotionally Focused Therapy important?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence based model with an over 70% proven success rate.  Over 90% of couples report their relationship was "significantly improved."  EFT has over twenty five years of research demonstrating proven effectiveness.

I offer psychotherapy, counseling for couples, families, and individuals.  I provide treatment for relationship problems, trauma, abuse, post-traumatic and other kinds of stress, anxiety, parenting, children's problematic behaviors, and low self-esteem.

For couples who are on the brink of divorce, I offer Discernment Counseling to help you develop clarity and confidence in making the decision that is right for you and your family.

Working collaboratively with an emphasis on your strengths, you'll find me supportive of the areas you want to work on and the changes you or your family members may want to make.

Why should I insist on a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist?

To become a Certified EFT Therapist, candidates must meet various pre-requisites and complete several EFT training and supervision requirements including an intensive EFT Externship, advanced training courses, consultation / supervision by a Certified EFT Supervisor.  Two video taped clinical sessions demonstrating the therapist’s thorough grasp of the EFT model are reviewed by a Certified EFT Trainer at the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).
