Feeling stuck in stress, overthinking, or old patterns? Together, we’ll create a collaborative space where you can explore obstacles and strengths and find your stride in a chaotic world. My goal is to provide a place for you to build self-awareness and access the resilience that helps you move forward. Many people I work with have spent years feeling "too sensitive," "too much," or like they don't fit in. They’re often overwhelmed and worn down from trying to function in systems that weren’t built with them in mind. Everyone deserves the chance to feel understood and more connected to themselves and others.

It's hard to put into words, but you know something needs to change. Life is full. And yet, you're carrying something heavy that no one else can quite see. Maybe it's tension in your marriage, the identity shift of parenthood, a fractured family relationship, or a loss you're still making sense of. There's no wrong way to show up here. I work with people who are ready to stop carrying it alone. Together, we'll slow down, figure out what's really going on, and find your way back to yourself and the people who matter most. We will put words to what's been hard to name—and find the resilience and hope that are already there, waiting.

I value the time and courage it takes to seek out a therapist. I'm honored you landed here. I utilize inner child work, exposure technique, art and somatic techniques. I am trained in brainspotting and find value in utilizing this approach to address and heal trauma. I view therapy as a co-creative space, where clients can process life transitions, addiction/recovery, anxiety, spiritual/ religious trauma, or just struggles of the human experience in general and know they are in a nonjudgmental, safe space. I am also trained in EFT (emotionally focused therapy), which I utilize with couples seeking to deepen their relationship.

Do you ever wonder why the same stress, relationship struggles, or self-doubt keep showing up even when the circumstances change? Maybe you're the strong one, the helper, the high achiever, or the person everyone depends on. From the outside, it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're exhausted from carrying so much. I believe the problem we see on the surface is often not the real problem at all. Together we'll look beneath the anxiety, overwhelm, conflict, or perfectionism to uncover the patterns shaping your experiences and keeping you stuck.

I’ve found that addressing both the obvious and subtle impacts of trauma to often be the key to resolving long-standing problems with depression, anxiety, interpersonal concerns, and emotional dysregulation. Many clients come to me when they’ve had unsatisfying experiences with therapy that have left their deeper issues unaddressed. While this work can be challenging, I find it deeply rewarding to help my clients find meaningful relief from their emotional pain.

I received my doctorate in family science and a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Kentucky. I have a strong background in improving mental health and well-being in the context of relationships, especially when there is risk of self-harm. Many people define themselves and their family members in a limited way, often forgetting the vast potential that each person embodies.

Therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation. In sessions with me I ask questions, challenge perspectives, and help you notice patterns you may have never connected or processed before. Some of the most meaningful sessions don't start with, "Tell me about your childhood." They start with a story from work or something that happened over the weekend. These everyday moments often reveal more than we realize.

The struggle to manage all of our roles can be intense. Trying to meet expectations, stay healthy, and manage the emotional burden of the past and can be exhausting and challenging every day. Our inner critic may determine our moods, and social media and social comparison can leave us feeling like we're just not enough. In addition, anxiety and depression often keep us stuck in fretting over the past, or worrying that we won't be able to keep it together in the future. When we realize that we need to address the worries or hurts that plague us, therapy can take a lot of the pressure off by healing old wounds and building self-worth.

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.
