When looking for a therapist, you may be understandably wondering, “What model do you use?” While learning about a therapist’s training and ethos is important, I believe that fitting the therapy to the person, rather than fitting the person to the therapy, to be most useful. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who offers individual therapy to adults, teens, and children. Whatever brings you or your child to treatment, whether it be a recent challenging transition or chronically overwhelming circumstances, therapy can help to alleviate symptoms, find clarity and coherence, and allow you or your child to better cope.

I am a psychotherapist with 35+ years of experience. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is unique. This uniqueness develops when a person knows there is confidentiality and can safely talk about anxieties, sadness, loss and whatever is interfering with the person they wish to be. I have always felt clients personal problems are not the insurance companies business. Due to my experience I do not accept insurance and payment is out of pocket. Years ago before the pandemic I responded to a post from a therapist stating skype sessions were as beneficial as in-person sessions. The pandemic forced online sessions

I specialize in providing integrated EMDR to LGBTQ+ youth and adults, who are struggling with complex trauma and feeling disturbed by painful past experiences. They most often feel like they are a burden, incompetent or often find themselves endlessly ruminating over worst case scenarios. They seek therapy when they realize that they are ready to stop spiraling and begin experiencing a sense of grounding and connection. They have started to acknowledge that they do not have to stay stuck. Their desire to feel confident, secure, and live authentically outweighs the fear to work through their pain.

My passion is working with those who keenly feel and live with the pain of not being "enough," or of being defective in some way. There's a variety of reasons that people come to suffer in this way, including the impact of childhood experiences, discrimination, and living within systems that encourage disconnection from ourselves and others. My approach is to work collaboratively to bring light and healing to hidden wounds. Far from being "too much to handle," learning to care for these tender parts is the path towards greater freedom, connection, and possibility.

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.
