Thank you for taking a look at my profile. If you are suffering from emotional loneliness or anxiety, if you are dealing with guilt and shame issues, if you are having a hard time accepting yourself, if there are parts of you believing that there is something "wrong" with you, I would love to hear from you. If you are avoiding intimacy due to trust issues or for fear of getting hurt again, if you are having a difficult time calming down your nervous system and regulating your emotions, if you are seeking to learn more effective ways to work with life within and without, let's talk.

Whether working with adults, children, or families, I create a nurturing space for you to reconnect with your inner strength and wisdom.

Utilizing EMDR, IFS, cognitive, emotional, developmental, attachment-based, somatic (body-centered), spiritual, and mindfulness-based approaches, my aim is to help you cultivate the self-compassion and empowerment to face the ups and downs of life.
Above all, you're welcome here. I offer a trauma-informed, kind, and non-judgmental approach for teen and adult individuals struggling with loneliness, shame, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship troubles. Our struggles can often lead us to feel “broken,” or “wrong,” but I strongly hold that we are never broken or wrong, and instead see wounds that need compassion and healing. Together, we can explore your unique ability to grow from these struggles, and lead the happy, loving, and meaningful life you desire.

Are you ready to really get to the root of the things you're struggling with? To understand yourself and maybe your partner in a different way? Perhaps you want to be less reactive and communicate better with the important people in your life. Or maybe you're burnt out, depleted, or unsatisfied. I can help. Together, we'll work on strengthening your emotional well being and increasing your awareness of your reactions/triggers to help improve your relationships and your life. We'll figure out if there's old unresolved stuff and help you sort out and process what you're ready to leave behind.

I practice Attachment-based and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which focus on exploring how you relate to your own emotions and what you might do with them that gets in the way of communicating directly and vulnerably.
We all want to feel heard and understood in our closest relationships. I guide clients to use their emotions as a tool for understanding their needs and boundaries and then support them in sharing those with others when it feels right - this can often lead to a deeper connection with self and others, as well as increased self confidence. I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking support with disconnection, anxiety, substance use, affair recovery, depression, self compassion, boundaries, life transitions, and dating support. I specialize in working with pre-marital couples, new parents, and parent-child relationships.

Additionally, I use an attachment-based approach to guide you in creating a stronger relationship with yourself and others.
Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing? Do you find you can’t get away from your own inner criticism, no matter what you do? Perhaps you’ve experienced anxiety from a young age and struggle to find relationships where you feel valued. When you’ve lived a certain way for so long, it can feel like change is impossible. But there’s a part of you that is a rebel, a cycle-breaker. It envisions a life filled with confidence, self-worth, and trusting healthy relationships. My goal is to help you bring this vision to life!

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.
