Emotionally Focused Therapy(EFT)
Reconnecting with what matters most
When relationships feel stuck or distant, it’s often not because people don’t care—but because something in the connection no longer feels emotionally safe. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps individuals and couples rebuild trust, closeness, and emotional security.
At its heart, EFT is about helping people feel seen, supported, and emotionally bonded. Whether you’re navigating conflict with a partner, feeling shut down in your relationships, or struggling to express vulnerable emotions, EFT offers a clear and structured path to healing.
How EFT Works
We often get stuck in repetitive emotional patterns—what EFT calls “negative cycles.” One person reaches out, the other withdraws. Misunderstandings snowball. You both end up feeling alone, hurt, or frustrated. These patterns don’t mean something is wrong with you or your relationship. They’re often rooted in deeper fears of disconnection, rejection, or not being enough.
In EFT, we slow down and explore what’s really happening underneath the surface. We create space for the emotions that don’t always get expressed—longing, sadness, fear, hope. As these emotions begin to come forward in a safe and supportive environment, new conversations become possible. You begin to feel more attuned, more open, and more emotionally connected.
EFT in Couples Therapy
EFT is one of the most research-supported methods for helping couples strengthen their emotional bond. It’s not about assigning blame or deciding who’s right. It’s about helping you move from defensiveness to understanding, from distance to closeness.
With guidance, couples learn to:
Recognize and shift out of their conflict cycle
Express vulnerability instead of anger or withdrawal
Rebuild Emotional Intimacy
Feel like a team again
EFT in Individual Therapy
You don’t need to be in a relationship to benefit from EFT. Many people carry emotional patterns from early relationships that still shape how they relate today—whether it’s difficulty opening up, fear of rejection, or feeling like your needs don’t matter.
In individual EFT, we help you understand where these patterns come from, and begin to heal them from the inside out. You’ll learn how to tune into your emotional experience with more compassion, and begin to relate to yourself and others in new ways.
