GROWTH DOESN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN ALONE.02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Grounded in experience.
Led by connection.
Life experience matters in this work. In my 50s, and as a parent, I bring an understanding of how relationships change through different chapters of life.
My background in anthropology and depth psychology shapes how I listen: with curiosity about the whole person, their history, and the world they live in.
03 / THE WORK WE DO TOGETHER
Go beneath the argument.
Find what’s asking to be heard.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) explores the emotions and attachment needs beneath recurring relationship patterns.
01Notice the cycle.
We look at the familiar responses that can leave people feeling stuck, such as pursuing an answer or pulling away.
02Understand what’s underneath.
Make room for the feelings and needs that are harder to express in the middle of a disagreement.
03Practice a different response.
Explore how to communicate more openly, hear each other, and build emotional safety.
04 / A THOUGHTFUL FOUNDATION
A human approach.
