Therapy That Heals at the Root, Not Just the Surface
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Creating lasting change in anxiety, sexuality, and relationships in Herndon, VA & across Virginia
You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s sticking.
Maybe you’ve been to therapy before and you felt better, only for that relief to fade. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, tried the coping skills, and even attempted to avoid the issue altogether. Yet, something still feels unresolved—like there's a part of you that hasn’t fully healed.
And you’re still feeling…
Like you're failing at intimacy, even though you're trying so hard.
Anxious that people will leave if they see the real you.
Stuck in the same painful cycles in your relationships, no matter what you do.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) works differently than traditional talk therapy. Instead of just managing symptoms or changing thoughts, EFT helps you understand and transform the emotions underneath your struggles.
Most of what keeps you stuck—the anxiety, the sexual shame, the fear of rejection—is rooted in how you learned to protect yourself when connection felt unsafe. EFT helps you access those deeper feelings, understand what they're trying to tell you, and create new, healthier patterns.
This isn't about coping harder. It's about healing at the root so the changes actually last.
EFT creates lasting change, not just temporary relief.
Grounded in attachment science, EFT helps you understand and transform the emotions keeping you stuck. You'll build security in how you relate to yourself, your body, and others—so the healing goes deep and actually lasts.

In our sessions, we won't just talk about your feelings—we'll explore them together in real time. You'll learn to notice what's happening in your body when you feel anxious, ashamed, or disconnected. We'll slow down those moments and unpack what's really going on underneath.
Over time, you'll start to recognize your patterns before they take over. You'll have language for what you need and feel safer asking for it. The relationships that once felt overwhelming will start to feel more secure, and you'll trust yourself in ways you haven't before.
This work takes time, but the changes are deep and lasting—not just surface-level relief that fades.

Every emotion has a story and yours is worth knowing.
