You’ve probably spent a lot of time holding it together, managing anxiety, trying to fix relationships, or carrying guilt and shame around sexuality or choices you don’t fully understand. My clients often come to me when life feels complicated: attachment wounds that never healed, emotional distance that keeps relationships stuck, or behaviors that bring regret instead of relief. Some are parents trying to reach a child who feels unreachable; others are adults trying to rebuild trust with themselves or someone they love.
I specialize in attachment and relationship repair, problematic or compulsive sexual behavior, and Reactive Attachment Disorder. My work helps clients untangle the guilt, fear, and patterns that drive behavior, build emotional regulation, and develop healthier, more secure connections, with themselves and others.
Therapy with me isn’t about labels, it’s about understanding what’s underneath and learning how to move forward. I offer an honest, collaborative space for people ready to face hard truths without shame. If you’re ready for change that lasts, I’d be honored to help you begin.
