Couples therapy is the best investment you can make in your relationship, whether you are in a new couple or have been together a long time. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) has the highest success rate of any type of couples therapy. I am a certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and a certified EFT Supervisor as well. EFT is recognized by the American Psychological Association as an evidence based form of therapy for couples in distress.
If your relationship is new it’s great to insure it with the strength, protection, and prevention couples therapy can lend. If you’ve been together for a while but are having problems, the sooner you come in the easier and quicker it will be to help shift the music from that of stress and discontent to something more beautiful and fulfilling. And even for couples who have had major longstanding problems, studies show that the success of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is not dependent on the level of distress the couple comes in with.
Couples therapy can be an intense process but EFT has, at its foundation, safety for both partners within the couple. My job is to create safety for both partners as we work to de-escalate the negative cycle you’ve been in, while creating stronger and more lasting bonds than you have ever had. EFT has successfully helped many couples regardless of what brings them in: intense arguing, an affair, a long-standing pattern of disconnection, having the same arguments over and over, empty nest transition, sexual problem, sex addiction, or something else.
I have experience, and enjoy working with all kinds of couples: lesbian, gay, bi, trans, straight, poly, or monogamous.
