Couples

As you are well aware, there are few things more painful and difficult to experience on an ongoing basis than a relationship on the rocks.  Faced with what feels like a shattered partnership where fear, lack of trust and hurt is all consuming and without any tangible resources for repair can be the source of great loneliness, despair, anxiety and depression

My practice in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) is a remarkably effective vehicle for repairing the torn and tattered bonds of romantic love. As we work closely together, this journey will light up a clear pathway and uncomplicated roadmap for connection.  We will explore and reestablish the emotional link that disappeared and in the present is likely causing your partnership to go in circles and feel stuck and sometimes in the extreme .

As you and your partner begin to name and identify the patterns and recurring cycles of disconnection and then by learning how to emotionally attune to one another,  your relationship will begin the healing process.

The initial stages of therapy might feel bumpy at times, that is to be expected;.  after all it probably took you and your mate some time to reach the point of seeking couple counseling.   With perseverance and commitment to this clinically verifiable therapeutic process, the level of emotional honesty and trustworthiness will increase and the burdensome weight of disconnection will begin to fall away.  This will usher in a new language of love, one far more delicate, considerate and lasting.

Assisting you in unlocking the vault of vitally necessary emotional experience and learning how to more easily express feeling, is the most freeing of all therapeutic interventions.  Being able to truly accept vulnerability as a pathway to one's core emotional strength, more powerful and insightful than all other human capacities, is the highest goal of EFT counseling with individuals.

No longer will you need to hide or repress your feelings nor will your out of control frustration and anger torment or determine your inner and inter-relational life.  These qualities can be transformed into a confident and emotionally healthful expression of your real self, rooted in the knowledge that an authentic and appropriate emotional release is now available to you and where previously very narrow ranges of felt expression used to be the norm and ruled your behaviors.

As you begin to build a repertoire of more refined emotional expression, your world will expand, relationships will blossom, new opportunities will reveal themselves and your creativity will be unlocked.

Families

The goal of family therapy is to modify relationships in the direction of increased accessibility, responsiveness and emotional engagement between familial members, thus helping the family to co-create a secure base for children to grow and eventually launch into the world.

In addition, rigid patterns of interaction which sustain distress and disconnection between family members will be addressed and corrected toward a more supportive atmosphere of concern and care.

A final goal of family therapy will be to maintain new patterns of communication based in healthful emotional expression which promises positive and sustainable engagement between family members, providing secure connection and overall safety.
