I specialize in helping clients with chronic stress and anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-worth and relationship issues. I offer an integrative and holistic approach to counseling that focuses on the individual and the relationship that I have with each client I work with. My priority is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where a client feels heard, seen and challenged to think outside their comfort zone, which enables self-exploration and personal growth. Some modalities that I draw from include
attachment-based
therapy, relational and emotionally focused therapy, and mindfulness interventions.

and experiential somatic interventions in a holistic manner.
Together we work to overcome painful cycles that have led you to feel hijacked, stuck, and disconnected from yourself and your relationships. Whether you are recovering from childhood, adult, or recent acute trauma, yearning to better surf the emotional waves of your current life, or navigating life transitions, we co-create a space where you can reconnect to your authentic self to rewrite old beliefs and narratives. I offer both practical and in depth support to help clients land in their bodies, heal and grow. This work is all in service of creating lasting internal shifts that lead to important external changes.

Through the use of experiential,
attachment-based
, and emotionally focused frameworks, I support my clients in exploring their relationships with the challenges that they face and how to transform these into ways that offer more creativity, courage, confidence, and resilience.
At times we can get lost in figuring out how to navigate the difficulties in our lives, leading to points of “stuckness” which can feel scary, painful, isolating, and defeating. If your curiosity has brought you here, I gently invite you to lean into that as this is the first step into unlocking what’s possible. I’m passionate about working with motivated individuals and couples who struggle with perfectionism, shame, depression, anxiety, past traumas, low confidence, life transitions, relationship and family conflict, infidelity, divorce, or separation.

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.

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.
