As humans, we are the experts in our lives and experiences, but we long for connection. I believe we can heal our bodies, minds, and souls through movement, a safe place, occasional laughter, nature, music, animals, and sometimes art. I find myself grounded in attachment-based, somatic, trauma-focused care working with ages 3-77+. Interpersonal Neurobiology is a topic I tend to "geek out" on and become excited about. Utilizing mindfulness throughout sessions with adults and as a play therapist, I believe that children communicate and heal through play; I include sensory work, sand tray, attachment-based play, and EMDR to assist all.

I am a social worker passionate about utilizing a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and systems approach in my work to serve clients.
The human experience is to each their own, consisting of various experiences, emotions, parts, and relationships that make up each story. The power behind sharing your story can be irreplaceable, and I believe it is a privilege to embark on that journey alongside clients. Therapy can be intimidating, especially during challenging times. As a clinician, my goal is to empower clients with an approach tailored to each client’s specific needs.

I enjoy working with people who are looking to make a change in their life, and unsure where to start. Whether they are someone who has tried therapy previously, or someone new to the process. I can assist in setting SMART goals and working through the stages of change to accomplish these goals. Most recently, I have enjoyed the challenge of working with therapists who are needing support in addressing their unique needs throughout the therapy process.

Do you have increasing concerns about your child’s mood and behavior? Perhaps your child has experienced a change, loss, traumatic experience or is struggling with peer relationships. As a parent, when your child is hurting, you hurt with them. While it can be difficult to ask for help, you don’t have to face these struggles alone. Many children experience mental and behavioral health challenges that are treatable. Through therapy, your child can develop healthy coping tools, improve emotional regulation, and learn positive and appropriate ways to get their needs met.

Handling problems on your own can be a noble decision. However, when things don't improve and life becomes overwhelming, getting help might be necessary. Sometimes people are reluctant to start therapy because they see it as a sign of weakness. It can be difficult to open up and be vulnerable to someone new. I understand this reluctance and I'm here to make this process as easy and as helpful as possible. I will listen to your problems, give you encouragement and teach you the skills you need to improve your life.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it can also hold meaning. Although both can be true, making sense of it all while maintaining a secure connection with others is not an easy balance. Genuine and authentic relationships offer the unconditional support that is essential in building the foundation we need to explore who we are, what we value, and how it all impacts the lives of the ones we love.

It is increasingly important to take the steps necessary to maintain that health through seeking a trusting and empathetic source of support and connection.

Not all of us are given the book on how to have healthy and fulfilling relationships with others or ourselves. It takes courage to explore and share what we are struggling with and begin to write (or rewrite) our book on how we want to feel and be in the world. You deserve to experience connection, relief, and acceptance in order to feel secure enough to explore and take risks in life. My goal is to get curious about the blocks that keep you from experiencing those qualities and collaborate with you to remove them.

I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to help individuals in expressing their emotions. Through play therapy, I encourage children to develop coping skills, express feelings, and address underlying issues. For older clients, I enjoy CBT to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and achieve their personal goals while improving overall wellbeing. In addition to CBT, I enjoy DBT to help support individuals in managing their emotions and improving interpersonal relationships.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
