I specialize in working with couples. It’s my passion. It’s what I do the most and where I’ve received the most training. My work with couples has been especially rewarding since I’ve learned, trained in, and practiced Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy or EFT.



Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an empirically supported, structured, and highly effective treatment for couples who find themselves struggling in their relationship. It is a short-term approach to therapy based on our inherent, wired-in attachment need for others. EFT addressed the “heart of the matter” by uncovering and treating the deeper issues that couples deal with rather than focusing on more surface behaviors. Outcome research using EFT in couples therapy has found that approximately 70% of married couples move from distressed to greater connection. Research has also found that 90% of couples show significant improvements following treatment using EFT. For more information, please visit www.iceeft.com.

Couples going through EFT with me will learn about their negative patterns that keep them stuck. Partners learn more about the difficult emotions they experience and that hold the key to deeper connection and understanding. Finally, partners will access the ability to understand their deepest needs and express those needs as well as the needs of their partner. Most couples will meet their goals withing 20 to 30 sessions depending on their current challenges and circumstances.
