Difficult circumstances can be an opportunity for growth. Psychotherapy provides a journey from challenge to healing and positive change. Beyond coming out of present crises, in therapy one can learn new behaviors in order to avoid “repeating the same mistakes.” While our history cannot be altered, we can learn from the past and present to change patterns that are harmful or no longer serve us. As a clinical psychologist, I believe healing allows us to open to more fulfilling experiences, to create a meaningful life.
In our space, your unique experiences and challenges will be welcomed without judgment, whatever they may be.

My ideal clients are couples, individuals, and families who feel stuck in painful cycles and want something to finally change. They may be exhausted from the same recurring arguments, overwhelmed by family conflict, or carrying trauma from childhood that still affects their relationships today. Many of them grew up without emotional safety — and now find themselves repeating patterns they swore they’d never repeat.
They want to communicate without everything turning into a fight. They want to feel understood instead of dismissed. They want to feel close again — or part peacefully if the relationship is no longer safe or healthy.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who present various problems and concerns, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and life transitions.
I believe in the power of early interventions to help children and teens develop healthy boundaries and coping skills and have healthier and happier relationships with themselves and others. I also believe we are all born with emotions and feelings, and we just didn’t get taught how to manage and express them.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety - whether it’s from external demands or internal struggles. Maybe it's social anxiety, "a life transition," or healing from trauma.

You experience life in deep and meaningful ways, but often feel overwhelmed, out of place, and painfully alone. You have intense passions and interests that many don’t seem to share. You've been gaslighted into believing you're "over-thinking" or "too sensitive" when you've shared powerful truths and questioned the status quo. You often doubt yourself, may silence your voice out of shame and fear, and spend extraordinary energy trying to fit in. You may have felt misunderstood and dismissed by other providers, or have been labeled with all sorts of conditions that never seemed to get to the root of your experience.

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.
