My work with couples is informed by attachment-based, psychodynamic, and emotionally-focused theories, as I believe that our formative relationships often serve as a blueprint for relational patterns in our lives.
I'm passionate about walking alongside people who have a sense that, "Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to always be this way." Perhaps you're feeling stuck in the same relational dynamics, holding beliefs and ideas about yourself, others, and the world that no longer seem helpful, or wanting to figure out what it might look like to be a more healthy, whole, and honest person. Many of us often have a desire for life to look different, but we might not be sure how to get there. I view therapy as a process that can help us discover more about where we've been, who we are becoming, and how we want to live.

Finding the right fit for your mental health journey can be daunting. Therapy is vulnerable and powerful, and finding a person to support you in this is important. I firmly believe being a therapist is not about doing something for the client, but being someone for the client. I am here to be that someone for my clients. There is a misconception in our world that asking for help is weakness, when in fact it’s strength. I’ll be here for you, with no judgement.

You’ve lived your life in parentheses: Shifting shape to stay loved, safe... or simply tolerated and included. It's so automatic to become what others need that you never thought to stop and ask yourself what it is you really want, or like.
But lately, something deeper is stirring. A tiny, cautious flicker that whispers: with practice and the right therapist, you can learn what it is to want, without the all too familiar guilt. A wisdom that understands that it's not selfish to want a life that's still you, just with the vivid knob turned up. Even though it's awkward and out of your comfort zone, it's worth it to jump in and try.

My first goal as a therapist is to help clients overcome dysregulation using psycho education, mindfulness, attachment-based, and somatic therapy to create safety and stabilization.
I’ve spent much of my life in deep self-inquiry, spiritual exploration, and academic study. Along the way, I’ve experienced both profound love and painful heartbreak. Like many of my clients, I’ve felt unsafe in relationships and ignored my intuition (even when it was screaming at me). I was stuck in patterns I didn’t understand—until I finally chose to put myself first and immersed myself in psychotherapy, yoga, and spirituality.

There are seasons in our lives that are more challenging than others. Sometimes we’re aware of the circumstances causing our distress; other times we simply feel stuck or uncertain. In these seasons we may experience unrelenting anxiety, feelings of despair, intrusive or disruptive thoughts, increased conflict in our relationships, the emergence of harmful behaviors, or all of the above. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy can offer a relational space where self-awareness deepens, skills develop, and long-standing patterns begin to shift.

Clients often tell me I'm "different than most other therapists they've met!" (And honestly, I love that.) You're not looking for just any therapist; you're carrying a weight you shouldn't have to carry alone—perhaps the echo of trauma, a chronic illness that reshapes your world, or the toll of a demanding healthcare career. My superpower? I deeply understand the nuanced journey of a trauma survivor—because I've walked that path, too. That, combined with my nursing background, lets us connect your mind and body in a way that just makes sense. This isn't just therapy; it's a journey into rediscovering your innate power.

I often use CBT, Attachment-based and Mindfulness.
Life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, detached from our bodies, or distant from the people and communities we care about. I specialize in supporting teenagers and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and trauma.

Living with trauma symptoms can feel deeply isolating. Our bodies possess an innate ability to heal when supported, yet systemic and historic barriers often hinder that recovery. What’s needed is a model that is compassionate and depathologizing. As a somatic trauma therapist, I help you reconnect with your body and cultivate a sense of inner safety, restoring ease to sensations disrupted by past or ongoing experiences. Together, we’ll explore what protective strategies have developed to shield from the pain within, and introduce the support necessary for healing. Clients report feeling more alive, empowered, and connected.

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.
