Emotional Freedom Technique
Gentle but powerful therapy for anxiety, trauma, and emotional overload.
When talk therapy isn’t enough, your body may be holding the rest of the story.
EFT is for you if you’re tired of understanding your patterns but still feel stuck in them.
If you’ve noticed your stress response is out of proportion to what’s happening.
If you want to stop overreacting, overexplaining, or shutting down—and finally feel safe inside your own body.
Whether you’re navigating relationship anxiety, childhood trauma, grief, or burnout—EFT can help release what talk therapy can’t always reach.
What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), often called “tapping,” is a mind-body method that helps reduce distress by calming the nervous system. It combines elements of cognitive therapy, somatic awareness, and acupressure to address emotional pain at its root.
By tapping on specific meridian points while talking through thoughts and emotions, EFT helps desensitize triggers, rewire emotional associations, and bring the body back into regulation. It’s gentle, powerful, and backed by decades of research.
Whether you’re carrying anxiety, grief, shame, or emotional pain from past relationships, tapping helps us access the root without retraumatizing you. You don’t have to relive what happened to release it.
We’ll combine tapping with therapeutic insight so you’re not just venting-you’re actually rewiring. It’s about giving your mind and your body the safety they’ve been craving.
What to Expect in EFT Sessions
Sessions are collaborative, client-paced, and always trauma-informed. You’ll be guided through a targeted EFT process to uncover stuck emotional patterns, old narratives, and somatic cues your body has been holding onto-sometimes for years.
You’ll learn how to tap through emotional distress in the moment, and we’ll work together to identify themes, language, and patterns that arise.
We may use EFT alone or alongside other approaches like Somatic Attachment Work or CBT, depending on what feels most supportive. Over time, you’ll gain a skillset to calm your system—anytime, anywhere.

FAQ's
Q: What exactly is tapping?
A:Tapping—also known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)—is a mind-body approach that combines gentle physical tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on emotional stress. It helps send calming signals to your brain and body, so you can release stuck emotions without having to relive them.
Q: Do I need to believe in energy work for EFT to be effective?
A: Not at all. EFT has been studied in clinical settings and shown to reduce anxiety, stress, and even physical pain. Whether you’re into neuroscience, somatics, or just want relief that works, EFT meets you where you are.
Q: Can EFT help with trauma or painful past experiences?
A:Yes. EFT is a trauma-informed method that allows us to gently access and release the emotional charge tied to difficult memories—without forcing you to rehash every detail. You stay in control, and the process stays compassionate.
Q: Will I only be using tapping in our sessions?
