What Eileen says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

You can feel better about yourself, and your relationships. You can experience more peace and happiness in your life....

As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing challenges like anxiety, trauma, grief, loss and interpersonal dynamics. I offer compassionate guidance for those navigating life transitions, workplace stress, family conflicts, and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is deeply empathetic and adaptable, drawing from extensive clinical experience working with diverse populations. I love integrating my Christian faith and helping others to grow in their love and relationship with Jesus.

I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where all clients of all faiths, can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. You will learn interesting tools for breath work, body work, cognitive and creative work.

I have particular expertise in supporting women, young adults, veterans, and individuals processing complex emotional experiences such as abandonment, past abuse, attachment challenges, and workplace issues. My goal is to help clients build self-understanding, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward healing, feeling safe and personal empowerment.

03 · How Eileen works

The 5 approaches Eileen lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Eileen lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Eileen's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Eileen runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Emotionally Focused TherapyEFT

Built for couples and rooted in attachment: the recurring argument is treated as a cycle two people are stuck in rather than as one person's fault. Sessions work to interrupt the cycle and get to what each person is actually asking for underneath it.

Narrative Therapy

Treats the story you tell about your life as something that can be examined and retold rather than as the plain facts. Separates the person from the problem - “the anxiety” rather than “your anxiety” - to make room for the parts the current story leaves out.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

Trauma-Focused TherapyTF-CBT · trauma-informed

CBT adapted for people whose difficulty is rooted in a frightening or overwhelming event. Pacing is the point: safety and stabilisation come first, the memory itself is approached gradually and only when you are ready, and the aim is that recalling it stops hijacking the present.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Eileen practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Eileen's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Eileen at this point.

2. Naming Eileen specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Eileen is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Eileen.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

4 questions worth asking Eileen

Built from what Eileen actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Eileen's - Eileen has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 30 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Eileen's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Eileen. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
