Drawing from theories including behavioral, emotional, and cognitive, as well as the wisdom of mindfulness, I use Narrative, Attachment-Based, and Existential approaches.
The road to inner freedom begins with the decision to not walk alone. Inviting the right support helps you gain insights to reach your goals and destiny. You may be dealing with past trauma, depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, or looking to find a life-partner, preparing for marriage, or seeking to enrich existing relationships. Whatever your path, I invite you to reach out and let me walk with you. Meet me at my office, or from the comfort of your home via video counseling.

Are you looking for an authentic connection with a therapist and appreciate an open, supportive dialogue? Are you searching for a therapist who will give feedback and explore with you rather than only offering a listening ear? Do you feel stuck, struggling to get through even one more day? Have you had trouble in the past connecting with therapists? If any of this sounds like you, then you are in the right place.

Life is hard. Sometimes life is harder than what we’re equipped for. When that happens, seeking help can be daunting, and finding a therapist who’s a good fit even harder. While I can’t magically make everything better or brighter, I will sit in and walk through the darkness with you until we make it to the light. I have experience working with individuals who are dealing with trauma, depression, self-harm, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and identity crisis. My areas of particular focus are sexual trauma, emotional abuse, suicidal ideation, self-harm, attachment issues, depression, PTSD, and those dark night-of-the-soul times.

If your life is fully functional, you don't have to struggle to understand why things are the way they are. It is when we hit a wall in our relationships, career or health that we get pushed out of our comfort zone and start looking for answers. People often think that they can deal with all these on their own. However, emotional wellbeing is essentially a two person process as we can only find ourselves in the eye of another. The therapist's questions might bring out the answers in you that will support you in developing a much needed fresh perspective in life.

Do others look at you and think you “have it all together”? You appear successful on the outside (and you have so much to be proud of), but inside you feel anxious, critical of yourself, & overwhelmed. You’re constantly questioning yourself: Am I good enough? Did I do it right? Did I say that wrong? You may look back on your life and notice experiences from your past that have made it difficult to feel confident in everything you have to offer. It feels like you live in worst-case-scenario mode at all times, and while you want so badly to feel less stressed & more secure in yourself, you haven’t been able to change this on your own.

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.
