Through attachment-based and psychodynamic approaches, we will work to create resilient relationships that emphasize open, assertive communication.
After years as a performing artist and opera singer, I recognized that creativity, play, and being known are integral to our sense of well-being. I discovered my passion for supporting people through creativity and talk therapy to pursue fulfilling and meaningful lives. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment to process your experiences and identify your strengths and values. I work with adolescents through late adulthood with a wide range of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related, OCD, neurodivergent, and personality disorders.

I utilize a variety of modalities and evidence-based practices including: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, IFS, ACT, and Mindfulness to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, weight management, hoarding behaviors, and unresolved past trauma.
Beginning therapy can be scary, intimidating, and stressful, but can also make a big difference in your life. There are times we feel stuck, lost, confused, angry, or hurt. Periods when relationships feel like they’re falling apart, life feels aimless, or we feel unhappy and can’t quite pinpoint why. For some this is new, while for others it can be a lifelong struggle. Therapy provides a safe space for processing thoughts and feelings, for exploring the past and its influence over the present, and for risking change. Therapy can help you cope with challenges and make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to grow.

It can be challenging to ask for help (especially when you don't know what to expect or have been disappointed in the past) but the benefits of therapy are immense. Whatever you're struggling with, talk therapy proves to be one of the most effective ways to identify unhealthy patterns and better understand ourselves. The origins of mental and emotional pain are mysteriously complex sometimes, but it's often related to unmet emotional needs and feelings of shame that drive negative thinking and impulsive/restrictive behaviors that make it harder to get better. Let's work together to help you find lasting change.

Attention...what does it take to get our attention? Usually, it's something unfamiliar. I work with individuals who experience a "symptom," a grief, a depression, an anxiety, a life-threatening illness, a crisis in an important relationship; a time when you are asked to pause, to pay attention to your self and bring curiosity to your life. A symptom is an invitation to look at the story of your life and visit where you have felt alone and where you need to come home to yourself in order to make this issue transform and experience more fulfillment.

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.
