Hi, I’m Theresa!
I am a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. I achieved my master’s degree in
Marriage and Family Therapy at Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2020.
I am trained in Emotionally Couples Focused Therapy (EFCT) and completed 68 hours of
training. Emotionally Focused Therapy is based on a model for understanding adult love. This
means that “we” as a human being need a secure attachment relationships throughout our lives,
not just infancy and early childhood (Johnson). ‘We are wired for love, not fear”. As an EFT
therapist, I track and focus the emotional experiences between and within an individual, couple,
and family when the negative cycle of interactions emerged during a conflict.
With that said, I help individuals, couples and families who long to be loved and accepted in
their relationship, but fear, shame, guilt, and negative life’s experiences kept them from enjoying
a happy and fulfilled relationship with their loved ones and within themselves. Together, we will
choreograph a new emotional dance that will create a safe space for a secure emotional
connection, develop trust and experience stronger bond in your relationship.
I know from working with clients and from my own personal experience that the road to a close,
and meaningful relationship is to build a secure emotional connection within oneself and others.
I believe that an unshakable attachment bond can improve mental, emotional, and behavioral
health. Let me help you on your journey to a healthier relationship by reaching out to Enriched
