My Approach: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
My practice is grounded in the belief that we are wired for deep, safe connection—with God, with ourselves, and with each other. To help you achieve this, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that looks beneath surface-level arguments to heal the root of the disconnect.
Here is what that looks like in our work together:
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): We will explore your inner world, helping you make sense of painful emotions, quiet your inner critic, and build a deeply compassionate, secure relationship with yourself.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT): Instead of just teaching you communication "tricks," we will map out the negative cycles you get stuck in. I will help you step out of the blame-and-withdraw pattern so you can safely share your needs and rebuild a strong, lasting emotional bond.
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT): We will look at the steps of the "dance" between you and your adult child or parent. By processing old hurts in a structured, safe environment, we can transform tension into a supportive, mature adult relationship.
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where your faith is welcomed and naturally integrated into this healing process. You get a collaborative partner who will gently guide you through the hard moments while fully celebrating your growth.
