My approach to therapy: I’ll be 100% honest, growth doesn’t come when things are “fine.” It comes when life falls apart and you choose to dust yourself off and come back stronger. I help individuals and couples dust off, rebuild, and become who they know they’re capable of being, clearer, stronger, and more connected. Let’s figure it out together.

My approach to therapy: You’re tired of feeling like you're constantly walking on eggshells, either in your relationship or in your daily life. You want to feel heard, connected, and supported instead of always managing stress alone. Whether you're a couple in conflict or just burnt out from a high-pressure world, you don't have to be just "getting by".

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured, evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on strengthening emotional bonds and improving relationships. Rooted in attachment theory, EFT helps individuals, couples, and families understand emotional patterns and build deeper, more secure connections.

EFT therapists work with you to identify negative cycles of interaction and uncover the underlying emotions driving them. Through guided conversations in-person or online, you’ll learn to express emotions more openly and respond to others in ways that foster trust, safety, and closeness.

Whether you’re struggling with relationship conflict, emotional distance, or past trauma that impacts your connections, EFT can help you and your loved ones heal and grow together.

Wherever you are located in Ohio, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced EFT therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

The Benefits of Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT offers many benefits for individuals, couples, and families, including:

  • Stronger emotional connection
  • Healthier communication and conflict resolution
  • Greater trust and intimacy in relationships
  • Reduced feelings of loneliness or disconnection
  • Improved self-awareness and empathy
  • Long-term relationship satisfaction and stability

If you’d like to learn more about different therapy approaches and which one may be right for you, read this article: What are the types of therapy?

When to Consider Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT may be a good fit if you are experiencing:

  • Relationship conflict or disconnection
  • Difficulty communicating emotions
  • Repeating patterns of blame, withdrawal, or avoidance
  • Feelings of insecurity or fear of abandonment
  • Recovery from infidelity or betrayal
  • Family tension or emotional distance

EFT may not be ideal if one or more participants are unwilling to engage in open communication or if there is ongoing abuse or safety concerns — in such cases, individual or crisis therapy may be more appropriate first.
