Welcome
Welcome. These are difficult times for so many of us and problems with anxiety, relationship and/or depression that existed prior to the current circumstances around COVID might have worsened. I am planning to remain available throughout for video tele-health full session services for individuals, couples and families. I am also planning a return to in-office sessions as soon as it is recommended. Prior to contacting me please review information about my methods of therapy, rates, insurance and scheduling on this website.
I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist for Couples, Individuals and Families. I am also a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy Supervisor. My approach to individual and couple counseling, and marriage therapy is attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT works to foster healthy, secure bonds by recognizing patterns that have become destructive to your relationships with others and with yourself. It is not at all concerned with judging or taking sides. EFT is a cost effective, time-limited (usually 14-21 sessions) and active counseling technique, that is highly effective and backed by extensive research. EFT is a method of therapy that gets to the root of relationship troubles, including healing after affairs and other betrayals, and can help save a marriage that might otherwise end prematurely.
What to Expect
First, a non-judgmental counseling approach to clarifying what brings you to therapy and what relief would look like for you. Therapy continues with me aiming to gain a full understanding of your current thoughts and feelings in the context of your whole life experience. As our work together progresses you’ll begin to gain new awareness, flexibility in decision making, and a better understanding of yourself and people in your life. A good fit between any client and therapist is critical to the overall success of therapy (in fact, research shows that the inability of therapist and client to form a strong working alliance leads to poor outcomes)- so contact me and I’ll be happy to spend some time with you to answer questions you might have and discuss my approach prior to scheduling an initial appointment. Our work together takes place in a comfortable, private environment and is discreet and confidential. Therapy is a process but I want you to experience meaningful change from our first session forward. If you are in crisis you can reach caring, non-judgmental help at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) and at a medical emergency room.
