Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Psychotherapy for individuals, couples & families
Virtual therapy throughout Oregon, California & Washington
I help people understand the deeper emotions that drive their behavior and thoughts.
We all have emotional responses to those around us and to our environments. Generally emotion comes in at two levels, a primary level and a secondary level. Most of us are consciously aware of the secondary level emotion (frustration, anger, annoyance) as we navigate through our daily lives.
If we dig deeper and understand what is beneath the secondary emotion we gain access to our most authentic self.
As we do that we can learn to share those parts of our experiences and with those who matter in our lives.
That is what I endeavor to do with my clients.
Meet Jean
I have always been influenced by an experiential and systems approach to my work with a focus on attachment needs. Whether I am working with an individual, couple, or family, I believe that we are moving from an information age to a relationship age.
No matter what the context, we all must focus on our relationships.
Learning how to regulate our emotions and how to respond to those around us is the crux of success. As an EFT therapist I am committed to what works for people and what leaves them whole.
Based in Portland, I offer EFT therapy to individuals, couples and families virtually throughout Oregon and California.
