Practice Description
Specializing and certified in the practice of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT),a brief treatment approach whose goal is to emotionally reconnect partners. EFT is a practical and short term therapy that helps couples break habitual and hurtful patterns of arguments and conflicts. In a relatively short time, couples can recognize and learn new ways to express their feelings and needs for love, support, protection and comfort that are often hidden by the harsh or angry words used repetitively in their "demon dialogues". Partners eventually begin to "listen with their heart," one of the cornerstones of EFT, which means listening not just for the literal meaning of their words, but for the feelings that lie beneath. This results in increasing empathy and leads to the creation of a relationship with a secure base and safe haven for both partners. This is the emotional focus of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
