How does Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy work?
Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy helps you heal and foster the emotional bond of your relationship. Our research shows that the strongest, longest-lasting relationships are the ones where partners can work together to help each other feel safe, loved, respected, and connected.
Through guided conversations, therapy helps heal ruptures and traumas, helps you understand one another more fully, and develop a relationship that feels better. And relationships that feel better are more resilient, more satisfying, and more comfortable.
What does individual therapy typically look like?
The foundation of my individual therapy is called AEDP (Accelerated Individual Dynamic Psychotherapy). It’s an approach where we employ the most powerful human motivation system (the Attachment System) to
-
create a healing environment together
-
understand symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and low self-worth
-
heal traumas that are creating symptoms
-
change patterns of feeling, thinking, and behaving to ones that are “healthier”
-
access your natural inspiration and energy
-
and restructure your life outside therapy to fit your new way of being.
We also have many other tools at our disposal in this work, including parts work, shadow work, poetry, CBT, and others. Together, we’ll figure out what will work best for you.

I’m passionate about helping people stay focused on what’s really important
Find out more about my work beyond therapy
You are a great therapist, a great listener and teacher, and a great person. I honestly feel our marriage is like a house we remodeled. It’s the same marriage but with some much needed improvements that makes it much easier to enjoy. If we maintain the work we have started, I’m confident that our time with you will lead to the happiest time in our marriage. I can’t imagine how hard a job is to carry all these heavy conversations you must have each day but thank you for being willing to do that.
My sessions were so helpful and I feel so free… You are amazing at listening and deciphering the most important piece or emotion and it was so helpful. My marriage is thriving and I am executing in business and emotionally present more than ever with my family. [My wife] and I just got back from a Monday lunch date and we are having amazing quality time again… Thank you.
I don’t know if you realize just how much of a miracle it is that we are both here and my husband is relaxed enough to interact. And I feel like I have direction now. Before I was sort of overwhelmed by information and sorting through it… Thanks!
You had a fantastic way of making us both equally feel comfortable to open up about tough things and making sure we felt heard and validated. I will forever be trying to imitate that! You have taught us so much about what real connection is and how to achieve it. We both have a whole new outlook and mindset on what good communication shouldn’t just sound like but what it should feel like. I truly believe the EFT approach is a gamechanger for marriages, as well as anyone looking to deepen their connections with others.
