I welcome people from all walks of life in my practice. During our therapy sessions I offer my clients the space and the time to explore, define and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships to others and to the world. Turning difficult feelings into words, or into play, in the case of children and perhaps some adults, helps making meaning of human experience. This is the best way to take control of strong emotions, instead of them controlling us.

An area of passion for me is helping to restore broken relationships- anything from healing infidelity to growing in communication. I long to help clients give voice to their pain, to articulate the challenge and to offer support in the journey. I balance that work with my love for working with women's issues- this can include anything from infertility, loss/grief, and post-partum transition or women who have just lost themselves along the way. I am thankful for the opportunity to support women and their partners in these seasons.

Especially in times of crisis or transition, when the things we look to for our identity or sense of self are in flux or lost, we can feel lost ourselves. We wonder who we are, what we’re doing, and where we’re going. Our minds get foggy, we feel stuck and aimless, and we’re often overwhelmed by our thoughts. We get caught up in our emotions and forget what grounds and centers us.

I believe that treatment is most helpful when provided in a safe environment that is free of judgments and filled with compassion and respect. I believe the majority of our troubles stem from our upbringing and the relationships we've had in our life, past and present. In order to heal, it is necessary to explore this. This will take time and will be difficult. We will learn coping skills along the way to manage life's ups and downs in a healthy way.

Glennon Doyle says, "Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway." It can be really scary to reach out for help when you're feeling stuck, when you're feeling out of control, or when you simply don't like who or what you see in the mirror. This is the part where I humbly invite you to take the leap and be vulnerable. Whether you're a child dealing with behavioral or emotional difficulties, a teen dealing with anxiety or depression, or an adult dealing with the general messiness of life - I am here for you and I believe things can get better.

Are you and your partner struggling to communicate, set boundaries, or prioritize quality time together? Struggles in these areas often lead to emotional distancing. Left unresolved, couples often report feeling unsure of their future, including thoughts of divorce. In couples or marriage counseling, I'll help you create a new way of communicating about difficult topics, leading to closer emotional connection. I also provide support for individuals with relational difficulties, especially related to low self-esteem or people pleasing tendencies. I strive to be LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming and a BIPOC ally.

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.
