As a systemic and attachment-based therapist, I believe we are all looking for connection, belonging, and acceptance. However old we are – infant, child, teen, or adult – we need to make sense of what happens to us, inside of us, and in our relationships. Our life experiences shape us in profound ways; our sense of self, and how we manage emotions, respond to stress, and connect with others. When life experiences are adverse, our body and brain can make meaning in ways that can cause distress. I help clients connect with their innate ability to change and heal difficult experiences so they can find peace and self-worth at any age.

We sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed by the expectations put on us by others and ourselves. Past experiences may have us repeating patterns and cycles in our relationships that don’t serve us. We may put aside our problems or stuff our feelings, putting them on the back burner to deal with later, only to realize they have started to boil over. In an effort to cope, we may engage in behaviors that prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. Often these difficult life transitions put us in a state of upheaval, leaving us feeling hopeless, anxious or depressed. I'm here to help you navigate these challenges.
