My practice is primarily focused in working with couples and families. As an advanced level Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I am careful to ensure that everyone in the room with me feels heard and understood. I work with couples dealing with affairs, addictions, loss and trauma, as well as couples who just want to deepen their already strong connection. I welcome all families, traditional and non-traditional. I work from a theoretical model that emphasizes the importance of adult and childhood attachment. I am also an experienced EMDR practitioner with many years experience treating trauma, PTSD, and addictions.
My method of couples treatment is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). A short term structured approach, EFT is extensively researched with studies showing 70% to 75% of couples move from distress to recovery, often accompanied by decreased symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, within 10 - 12 sessions.
