I am passionate about working with partners to improve and repair their relationships, whether their issues are in their early stages or feel insurmountable. I work collaboratively with partners, helping them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of themselves, each other, and their relationship. 
EFT is a collaborative, structured approach to working with partners, families and individuals that fosters the creation of secure relationship bonds. It is an affirming, caring, supportive way to get out of the 'stuck places' we all get into. 
​The emotionally focused relationship therapist develops a strong therapeutic alliance with both individuals and helps couples move beyond fighting and withdrawing into closeness and security.
The EFT approach facilitates partners to move from distress to loving reconnection by transforming negative patterns of interaction into safe emotional connection. Based on the science of emotions and attachment theory as well as humanistic and systemic theories, EFT has a high success rate in achieving secure, resilient relationships in couples.
EFT increases partners' ability to deal with conflict, helps them resolve old problems, and creates a deeper sense of emotional, physical and sexual intimacy and safety. Many people have 12-20 sessions but it is not a quick fix for relationship problems. 
Therapy can continue for more than a year where substantial change is wanted and partners have hurts from this relationship and from their childhoods that need healing. EFT can offer consistent and lasting positive change. ​
