Welcome

Feeling hopeless about your relationship and partnership is a hard place to be.  Things may be hard, but are rarely hopeless.  As an Attachment Theory based therapist, I use EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, to uncover negative patterns that have you and your partner stuck.  

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, or change the present quickly, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your relationships and life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will discover long-standing emotional triggers that lead to problematic behavior patterns.  These patterns create repeated negative interactions with loved ones and friends and skew your perceptions about others.  Not understanding the reasons for your emotional reactions to specific people and situations, can be what's holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If you're looking to be understood by your partner and to feel more secure in your relationship, I am here to work with your relationship goals. I work with couples and individuals with relationship issue, and my specialty is blended families.

Many therapists are not versed in the dynamics of blended families which develop differently than first families.  The insider/outsider dynamic shows up strongly by the stepparent but is often unnoticed by the bio-parent. Stepchildren and their behavior may seem like the issue, but often the case is your partners reaction (or lack thereof) to you trying to get your needs met, or be heard and understood.  I am part of a blended family and am an expert in this subject.  Again, it may be a challenging time, but it's rarely hopeless.

I look forward to working with you!
