Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples & Individual Adults

Virginia & South Carolina

enhancing closeness within and between

 So tired of feeling disconnected.

Lately you feel worried, on-edge, or unsure of yourself far too often.

You're feeling more and more insecure in your relationship. It's starting to creep into your sense of self-worth, and make you wonder if it was a mistake to let yourself rely on anyone but yourself.

Or maybe you've never felt secure, and it's way past the point of exhausting - You’re completely burned out.

“Will I ever be enough? Will anyone ever really understand me?”

Meet Emily — licensed marriage and family therapist in Northern Virginia, certified in EFT

You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Together in therapy, we can look at the patterns keeping you stuck, and find what’s blocking you from the deep connections you long to feel. Using the highly effective and research-backed techniques of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we’ll revise how you relate to yourself and how you show up in your relationships.

As your therapist, you can expect me to show up consistently with authenticity and genuine care. I offer transparency in the process and warm support you deserve as you find your path towards that deeper connection — with yourself, and with the people you love.

    Has it been a while since you’ve brought out the best in each other? Loving each other well isn’t always easy, but it should always feel like it’s worth the effort.

    Individual Therapy

    If you’re feeling weighed down, you deserve some support. In therapy, we'll get to know the coping strategies life taught you and replace the ones you no longer need. You deserve more in life than to be stuck repeating the same old patterns that keep you anxious, prevent you from loving yourself and from accepting care from others. You don’t have to walk the path alone.

Deep and Enduring Change

You may not be sure that life can be different if the pain started in the past. You’re right; we can’t change what has already happened, but we can change the impact — and we can change what we do with it going forward. Together in therapy, we will explore what's happening on the surface, then move into new, deeper experiences and that can alter the way your nervous system is wired. Everyone deserves to feel secure and to experience life with a heart full of love and joy. Let’s get started.
