“The deepest healing occurs when we can sit with our emotions, explore their underlying meaning, and find new ways of relating to ourselves and others.”
- Leslie S. Greenberg
I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, engaged, and grounded in the process of therapy without feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about the direction of our work.
How I work
At the foundation of my work are Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based, relational approaches.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a well-established, evidence-based approach grounded in attachment theory. It is based on the understanding that our emotions carry important information about our needs and relationships.
Through EFT, we look at emotional patterns, vulnerabilities, and attachment dynamics that may be shaping current challenges. As these become clearer, therapy can support deeper self-awareness, more open emotional expression, and more secure ways of relating to yourself and others.
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate way of understanding the different “parts” of ourselves that develop over time. These parts often emerge to help us cope, protect ourselves, or manage difficult moments.
Sometimes these parts can feel in conflict: one part of you may long for connection while another pulls away to avoid hurt. In therapy, we approach these inner dynamics with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand the role each part plays and how it is trying to support you.
As these parts are understood and supported, many people begin to feel greater clarity, self-compassion, and emotional balance.
A Collaborative Process
Above all, therapy is a collaborative process. My role is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore what’s coming up for you at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your needs.
Your lived experience, values, and goals will guide our work together.
If you have questions or feel ready to begin, you’re welcome to reach out by phone, email, or online booking. I look forward to connecting with you.
Why Choose Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)?
-
Emotions as Guides
EFT sees emotions not as problems to fix, but as valuable guides that offer insight and direction. By tuning into your emotional world, you can uncover the needs and patterns that shape your thoughts and behaviours, and begin to heal from the inside out.
-
Transforming Core Emotions
Core emotions such as sadness, fear, anger, or shame often influence how we respond to the world. EFT helps uncover the emotions that drive your thoughts, behaviours, and relational patterns. Working with these core feelings can shift how you see yourself and connect with others.
-
Healing Relationship Wounds
Many emotional struggles are rooted in early attachment wounds or painful relational experiences. EFT creates a safe, compassionate space to explore and repair those patterns, whether they show up in current relationships or your internal sense of self.
-
Enhancing Self-Awareness
Through EFT, you’ll gain deeper insight into your emotional needs, fears, and ways of relating. This clarity helps you make more intentional choices, communicate more authentically, and move through life with greater self-trust.
-
Strengthening Relationships
For couples and families, EFT helps build emotional safety, improve communication, and deepen connection. Whether you’re facing conflict or seeking more closeness, EFT offers tools to foster lasting, secure bonds.
-
Evidence-Based Approach
EFT is supported by decades of research and clinical success. It’s been shown to be highly effective in treating a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational distress in both individuals and couples.
