​​Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach that views conflicts in couples as stemming from insecure attachments. It helps clients experience, accept, and transform negative emotions and patterns into positive, bond-strengthening interactions. EFT is especially effective for couples trapped in repetitive arguments where both partners feel emotionally distant.

​

A key goal of EFT is to build a secure emotional connection where partners feel attuned to each other, fostering a sense of comfort and trust. This creates a dynamic where each partner feels cared for and supported. If that sense of attunement is lacking, emotions often drive actions, making compassionate communication difficult.

​

By becoming aware of and learning to regulate emotions, couples can transform them into loving interactions, enhancing emotional intelligence, understanding, and creating a deeper sense of security and attunement in their relationship.

In a couples therapy session I aim to help my clients experience one another in a more intimate manner. EFT emphasizes healthy adult bonds and guides clients to feel safe within their relationship to change their reactions to ones that respect each others boundaries and needs.
