It’s exhausting to feel uneasy with others or even in your own body — to wonder if you’ll ever feel safe, grounded, or truly yourself. I work with older teens and adults who struggle with unease in relationships and doubt around others, who feel like they are somehow “wrong,” or who carry lingering effects of painful past experiences. These challenges can show up as chronic pain or illness, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck. I understand that a body that feels unsafe or uncooperative affects every aspect of life - AND change is possible.

I’ve been licensed since 2008, doing my best to help people rewrite their life stories.
Outside of work, I’m mom to two kids, two cats, and one very anxious dog.
Over the years, I have worked with clients of every age group from almost every type of background. I believe all people are capable of change, though first they have to identify what is holding them back and whether they’re ready to address it.
Change is not easy, but it's worth it!

You've built a life that looks successful from the outside. But internally, you may be navigating anxiety, relational strain, health challenges, or a quiet sense that you're not operating at the level you know you're capable of. Smart, driven people often find that success doesn't automatically translate into peace, connection, or fulfillment.

Who’s life are you living anyway; the one you chose, or the one you were told to follow?
So many people, especially men, push through life on autopilot, meeting expectations, checking boxes, and wondering why they still aren’t happy or why it still doesn’t feel right. You might be doing your best, yet still feel stuck, disconnected, ignored, or overwhelmed. You’re tired of not being seen, heard, or validated. The truth is, real strength comes from pausing long enough to ask yourself the hard questions—and giving yourself permission to heal and grow in your own direction, without judgment.
"He who is brave is free." – Seneca

You want someone who would practice what is recommended and feels called to walk along side you during some of life's most difficult moments. If this is where you are beginning, consider starting here.

You have goals and a desire to excel but you are in a constant battle in your head with that nagging voice of self-doubt. You feel stuck; like shutting down, all attempts to avoid feeling this way. Your inner critic is common, but not helpful in becoming who you want to be. The most successful people and the highest performing athletes have learned to silence their inner critic and focus their mental energy differently. We work together to identify the barriers that prevent you from living life the way you want to, and create a roadmap to help get you to your optimal self.

I am glad you are here, taking steps toward putting yourself first. As a clinical therapist, I provide a person-centered approach to therapy, by creating a supportive and encouraging environment to help you move towards your optimal health. It is my belief that we need to develop protective parts to help us navigate through traumatic and stressful times. Our past can keep us stuck in old patterns. My goal is that together we reprocess past experiences to recreate new, healthier patterns for relationships, or other vulnerable areas in your life.

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.
