For Clients
All relationships experience distress from time to time. We can become trapped in a negative pattern that prevents our loved ones from hearing our relational needs. When we start asking ourselves, Why are they not Accessible when I need them? why aren’t they Responsive when I try to reach for them? How can I get them to Engage with me? When these questions arise, there is a sense of distrust, disconnect and this causes a felt sense of unsafety in the relationship.
EFT is considered the most effective form of couple’s therapy.
In EFT we help couples understand their negative cycle that has taken over their relationship and how it impacts things like effective communication, safety, trust, connection and intimacy. We help couples create corrective emotional experiences by tuning into their underlying emotional stories.
EFT is a short-term approach to helping distressed couples.

Books
Hold Me Tight
By: Dr. Sue Johnson
In Hold Me Tight, Dr. Sue Johnson presents Emotionally Focused Therapy to the general public for the first time. Johnson teaches that the way to save and enrich a relationship is to reestablish safe emotional connection and preserve the attachment bond. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship — from “Recognizing the Demon Dialogue” to “Revisiting a Rocky Moment” — and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations.
