I work with adults (18+) ready to cultivate inner peace. Finding time during a busy week can be difficult, so I offer weekend appointments. Many feel fragmented navigating life's heavy realities; together, we safely explore all parts of you. Using a trauma-informed, psychoanalytic approach, I guide you toward profound self-understanding—nurturing discomfort and healing wounds to move toward an integrated life. I offer a virtual sanctuary for trauma, personality disorders, self-injury, OCD, anxiety, depression, and substance use. You don’t have to carry your world alone. If you are ready for growth, I would be honored to hold space.

I have been working in the field of Social Work/Mental Health since 2011. I am passionate about supporting individuals in learning about and processing through the ways life experiences and traumas have impacted them. I find that often times (not always) people develop symptoms related to anxiety, depression & other mental/behavioral health issues because of how they have learned to respond to and survive through traumas and adverse life experiences.

I believe that resilience is in all of us and healing is a path we can choose to walk at any time if we are willing to take the first step. Sometimes even helping professionals need their own helper, someone to listen to their experiences and walk alongside them as they process the challenges of helping. Focusing on secondary traumatic stress and occupational stress issues I believe my role as a therapist is to support clients as they navigate their healing process.

Women come to me when high‑functioning anxiety, burnout, and trauma begin affecting sleep, irritability, and the ability to stay “on” all the time. I provide structured, trauma‑informed treatment that helps regulate your nervous system and restore clarity, steadiness, and emotional capacity. My clients are the women everyone relies on — successful, capable, and exhausted from carrying so much alone. This is an intentional, grounded space where you can finally slow down, breathe, and feel understood rather than feel responsible.

Many people come to therapy feeling like they’ve had to handle life on their own for far too long. Maybe you learned early how to be strong, self-reliant, or emotionally contained because support wasn’t consistently available. Even now, you might appear capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to ask for what you need. Therapy can be a place where you finally don’t have to carry everything alone. I work from a deeply relational and authentic approach. I believe healing happens in the context of safe connection, where you feel seen, understood, and accepted without judgment.

When people look at you, it looks like you have it all, but life feels painful. You are successful, driven, and dependable. You have worked so hard to create the life of your dreams, but it feels like life is falling apart. Your marriage maybe falling apart or your important relationships strained. Something has to change because living this way is not working. You have tried to follow the rules and do everything by the book. You have tried to keep everyone happy. Yet, it all feels lost. You can’t go on like this. This is not what you want for your life. You are at the end of your rope, and it’s time for a change.

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.
