Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you understand the emotions and patterns that keep you feeling stuck, especially in your relationships.

Whether you’re working on your relationship with a partner, your family, or yourself, we create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s happening underneath, and begin to feel more secure and connected.

In our work together, we may focus on:

• Understanding your emotions — noticing what you’re feeling and what’s underneath
• Creating emotional safety — having a space where you can be open without judgment
• Healing past hurts — working through experiences that still affect you now
• Shifting patterns — changing cycles that leave you feeling stuck or disconnected
• Responding differently — learning ways to express and manage emotions that bring more connection

Life isn’t one-dimensional — and neither are the challenges you’re facing.

The way you feel is shaped by many things, including your physical health, your thoughts and emotions, and what’s happening in your life and relationships.

In our work together, we take time to look at the bigger picture — how these pieces connect, and how they may be affecting you right now.

Rather than focusing on just one part, we explore what’s underneath in a way that feels relevant, practical, and grounded in your real life.

I also incorporate a somatic (body-based) approach, which means we pay attention to how your body responds to stress, emotions, and past experiences.

Sometimes, what you’re feeling doesn’t just show up in your thoughts — it can show up as tension, fatigue, or a sense of being on edge.

Together, we slow things down and notice these signals, so you can feel more grounded, connected to yourself, and better able to respond to what’s happening.

CBT helps you notice how the way you think affects how you feel and what you do.
When certain thoughts keep repeating, they can make you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hard on yourself.
Together, we look at those patterns and find ways to respond differently, so things start to feel more manageable.

I also draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which offers practical tools to help you manage intense emotions, stay grounded, and respond more intentionally in stressful moments.

Our relationships play a big role in how we see ourselves and connect with others.

Through an attachment-based lens, we explore how your earlier relationships may be shaping the way you relate to people now.

Together, we make sense of the patterns that show up — whether it’s feeling distant, misunderstood, or stuck in the same cycles — and begin to shift them in a way that feels more secure and connected.

This might include working through family wounds, navigating challenges in your relationships, or simply understanding yourself more clearly.

I work in a way that respects your identity, your experiences, and the context you live in.

This means we can openly talk about how things like culture, race, gender, sexuality, and family expectations may be shaping what you’re going through.

If you’ve experienced racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of oppression, we can take time to understand how that has impacted you — and what you need moving forward.

You don’t need to filter or explain yourself here.
This is a space where your experiences are taken seriously, and where you can begin to feel more supported, understood, and like yourself.

I work in a way that feels safe, respectful, and at a pace that works for you.

We don’t have to rush into anything before you’re ready.
We take time to understand what you’re feeling, without pushing or overwhelming you.

If you’ve been through difficult or painful experiences, we move gently — paying attention to what feels manageable, and what helps you feel more grounded.

You’re always in control of what you share and how we move forward.
The goal is to create a space where you can feel more steady, supported, and safe to explore what’s been hard.
