If you’ve spent a long time holding things together, and find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally reactive or shut down, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand — you’re not alone.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck or unsettled, whether in their relationships, their work, or within themselves. You may be highly capable and self-aware, yet still feel caught in emotional patterns that don’t change no matter how much insight you have. Often, these struggles are rooted in old emotional wounds or attachment patterns that once helped you cope, but no longer serve you.
I work with adults and couples who are navigating major life transitions, healing from emotionally painful or confusing relationships, or wanting to build healthier, more secure ways of relating. In our work together, we slow things down and make sense of what’s happening — not by assigning blame, but by increasing awareness and rebuilding self-trust.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I invite you to reach out on My Website Icon (top left of this page). Once you’re on my website, you can share some information there — including insurance details if you’d like — which allows me to review everything, and follow up to talk through next steps, availability, and what might feel like the best fit.

12-Wk Group: Breaking Anxious–Avoidant Trauma Bond
If you could have left already, you would have. If insight alone were enough, you wouldn’t still feel pulled back into the same cycle — the hope, the anxiety, the waiting, the urge to reach out, and the confusion that follows. This 12-week group program focuses on: Understanding trauma bonds and anxious–avoidant attachment patterns, Calming attachment activation without using the relationship for relief, Recognizing protest behaviors and responding without self-abandonment, Setting boundaries without guilt or cruelty, Rebuilding internal safety, self-trust, and emotional capacity, Learning how to stay connected to yourself — even when attachment is triggered.
