Relationships are our source of emotional nourishment and are extremely important to our physical and emotional well-being. The dances we dance within our intimate and familial relationships can often become polluted with hurts and unmet expectations and needs. 

  

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a very successful modality that will engage and repair your damaged attachment bonds. Within this structure, conflict and the emotion behind it becomes much easier to understand and work with, as couples become conversant in each others' attachment needs. This approach allows for new opportunities for vulnerability, real engagement, and deep connection.

 

Often historical trauma and maladapted responses are stumbling blocks to progress. With each partner, we also work on understanding their individual ‘Adaptive Child’ as well as skill building in terms of accessing new and more effective communication styles and strategies to manage emotional regulation and increase mindful awareness.
