About My Clients
It’s unsettling to turn to your partner and wonder if you all made a mistake by picking each other. The relationship feels hopeless after the various unsuccessful attempts to fix it. You learned new strategies to communicate better, to be open minded during disagreements, and even learned each others love languages - but nothing seems to change. If anything, there's an increase expression of frustration, resentment, criticism, and anger leaving you feeling alone and hopeless.
My Background and Approach
Through the use of Emotionally Focused Therapy, you are able to reconnect. You are able to understand how the two of you come to find yourselves in your usual cycle, recognize as it happens, and choose to engage from a place love and empathy. The two of you gain the ability to correctly identify each other’s emotional cues, safely and effectively express your needs, and discover how to strengthen your bond. Both of you learn to make impactful changes that remain years after therapy is over.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that as social beings, humans need to feel loved, accepted, seen, and understood. Our caregivers are the first to introduce the concept of love into our world. We develop our attachment style based on the type of care we received from our caregivers. The more we understand how we learned to love and be loved, the better we can understand why we do what we do in our relationships. It is very powerful to know ourselves so deeply and share these parts of ourselves with our partner. When a couple knows each other at this level, empathy and understanding comes easily.
