Hello! Thank you for visiting with me! Fostering “next steps” in all areas of life defines my approach to counseling. My experience with childhood loss, a pervasive family history of depression and anxiety, and a recent diagnosis of ADHD have created opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally. Taking an individual approach to my clients grounds my decisions personally and professionally. I believe relationships and being understood is key to guiding therapeutic relationship.

Does anger, sadness or anxiety get in the way of your relationships, jobs or general happiness? I work with clients to process these feelings and the pain they can cause. We all carry baggage from our childhoods and pasts, worsened by the hardships we endure as adults and from the inevitable trials of daily life, but they do not define who we are. Anger is a common response to these issues but does not have to interfere with our lives. Having worked for over a decade as a first responder, I know first hand how trauma impacts us, especially in our ability to control impulses, frustration and anger. You do not need to suffer alone.

You and those you love live in scary and uncertain times. You likely find yourself in a world you barely recognize, having to get by with more needs on fewer resources. We have all began to see the results of living under constant fight-or-flight stress while an entire world struggles to get by without needed coping skills, adequate financial resources, or knowing where to turn for guidance.

Perhaps with today’s latest challenges you feel out of balance, stuck in some places, and in need of a fresh approach that honors your strengths and personal values. My clients know who they are and are motivated towards continued growth. Many are beginning to struggle with loss as they, their friends, and their family age. Some have never learned to cope. Some manage using chemicals but now recognize that these strategies are unsustainable.

I am looking to assist clients of all ages experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, and depression. I am also interested in working with clients experiencing big life transitions. Life transitions can include change in your stage of life, change regarding your physical health, change in relationship and much more. I am especially interested in working with and helping clients who have experienced a medical trauma. Medical traumas of any kind have the ability to turn our lives upside down, I believe no one should have to face these challenges alone.

You did not get hurt alone, and you do not have to heal alone. Whether you are coming to therapy with lots of life stressors, recent traumas, or old wounds, my desire is to listen deeply to you. Often we can feel trapped by ideas of how we're "supposed" to feel, or by the expectations we feel from others. I want to make space for you to get in touch with what's really true for you. I believe that you are the ultimate expert on yourself, and I have deep respect for your inner guidance in navigating life.

I love working with couples, families, individuals, adolescents, and parents about their personal issues and emotional needs. I am a family therapist who believe most people can manage their own lives, except for those few times when life throws a curve ball, then we may have difficulty figuring how to handle that ball. We often find ourselves going in circles using old techniques and patterns that don't work . Let me help you step out of the repetitive loop by helping you identify the patterns and discover new ways to mange this particular ball.

You’ve been holding a lot—maybe for longer than anyone realizes. On the outside, you manage, show up, and keep things moving. But inside, it can feel overwhelming: relationship strain, family tension, anxiety that won’t quiet, old wounds that still get triggered, or a persistent sense that you’re “not enough.” If you find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep navigating it by yourself.
I’m a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing since 2013, specializing in trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

None of us are immune to hardships. When the trials of life come to us we often find ourselves ill equipped to navigate or cope effectively. We rely on strategies that are familiar, yet we become frustrated when we feel stuck or lost. My passion is working with clients who are ready for change, but uncertain of the path that's right for them.

I work with children, teens, and adults, to explore and process challenges, and to find peace in the midst of turmoil.

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.
